For those of you doing rinseless washes on a usual basis.  What do you do for cleaning the wheels as well?  Use the same solution and a towel?

Got this in at work.

Upholstery means cloth.  It's safe on leather, plastic, and vinyl surfaces.

You typically want to avoid using APC on fabric unless you have someway to neutralize it or remove it 100%, otherwise the next time dirt touches it, the APC residue will remove the dirt from what it is on and bring it into the fabric.  CUC is a better choice.

I use it on my Cquartz coated car once every 3 months. It works well on top of it.

Thats funny i just did the same today lol pretty good for a 2.0 turbocharged.
 

I always like to test my cars against what car magazines get for acceleration.  Matched Car and Driver's time of 5.4s.

I got to be the first person to put all of the cars in our brand new showroom at work.
 

 
Signs also went up today.
 

WW works well.  Just spray it on, let it sit for a little and wipe.
 

TID is for maintenance and quick wipe downs.  However, I find it to be very streaky on smooth plastics.

The next person has driven a car worth over $100,000.

Impressive to get it in that tight of place.  Made me wonder since it is an Audi.  Does it have a parking assist feature?   I know Mercedes has Parktronic to help.
 
 

Turns out I still remember how to parallel park.
 

Yep, DSG.
 
Got the mirrors and grille wrapped today.

I traded in my 2014 Civic Si for this 2016 Audi A3 2.0t quattro.  The car is new and has never been washed but it did sit for nearly 6 months at the dealer without anyone touching it.  Here it is in my driveway with 300 miles on it.  Just a little dirty.  The color is Lotus Gray.
 

 

 

 
Wheels were cleaned with a product similar to DWC and the tires and wheel wells were cleaned with Adam's APC.
 

 

 
Here it is after a wash with Adam's Car Shampoo.
 

 
I then sprayed the car down with a product similar to DWC.
 

 

 

 

 
I then got the car fairly dry to pull into the garage and clay it.
 

 

 
Only the horizontal surfaces were badly contaminated.
 

 
Here is the initial condition of the paint.
 

 
Pretty good except a few areas had minor water spots.

 
Because the paint was in relatively excellent condition, I proceeded just to polish the car to get it closer to perfect.

I then brought it back into the garage to apply a ceramic coating.
 
I also went around and cleaned all of the rubber window trim using Adam's APC

 
Rubber trim and tires were then dressed with Adam's SVRT.  The wheels and windshield got Adam's Quick Sealant.  The rest of the glass got another sealant.
 
The final result:
