My 71 RR clone has recent paint, I don't plan on driving in any real weather. Looking for a spray and wipe method of cleaning the exterior. Please let me know what fluids and cloths are good to use? Readily available?
Spray and wipe instead of wash?

Thanks Bill, I'll look on Canadian tire website for that. Terry cloth is good I presume?

Depends on just when it was painted too. Driwash recommends waiting 90 days after painting before using.

Kozak Auto Dry Wash cloths work very well. I also really like Eco Touch waterless car wash.

OK thanks everyone. I went with goclean waterless car wash, hopefully not a horrible decision. Spray and wipe on, wipe off haze with clean terry cloth. Seems to work OK. The car wasn't dirty at all I just wanted to get whatever dust off before installing the California custom dustop cover. Paint is ~2-3yrs old

I use a car duster such as the California car duster to remove as much dust as possible BEFORE wiping the surface. After the duster I use spray detailers, and wax’s. Also I use these edge less towels from the rag company.

I start with a thorough liquid wax application with a foam pad and low speed buffer, then maintain with California duster and Meguiars Ultimate Qwik Detailer using microfiber towels, haven't washed a hobby car in more than 10 years.
