Hi I have a product called demon shine rapid dirt shifter, however after spraying it and then pressure washing it away I can still see dirt on my car. I have do this 3 or 4 times until a thin layer of dirt is left, I then shampoo and dry my car. However I dont use wax or sealant etc, but I have now bought meguairs quick wax, will this make my car less likely to attract dirt?

If there is dirt and grime in the previously applied waxes and residues you will need to use a clay bar to clean the paint up
Not as scary as it sounds and leaves your paint fresh and ready for fresh waxes and sealants - have a look over on detailing world!

Have a look in the trader sales section, Mandy was selling clay mitts. Easy to use and do a great job.

Personally I've found that if a car has never been clayed before then clay mitts/ towels arnt really aggressive enough. I prefer to use a clay bar first time and then a clay mitt/ towel to maintain as they make life a lot easier.
No spray on rinse off product will clean a car fully (especially if its not waxed/ sealed) they just help to remove the loose dirt and larger bits/ grit ect. This time of year is the worst for keeping cars clean particularly white and black.
If I were you its worth taking the time to do a full clean/ clay/ protect on the car once and then its a lot easier to maintain, also helps protect through winter against road salts and the harsher weather.

I have used and will continue to use Megs Clay Bars

I only do it a couple of times a year usually around this time before Winter sets in with all the salt and crud left on the roads and again in Spring before the pollen starts - keeps the paint is fresh and sparkling all year with minimal effort! :happy2:
