Is it just me or does anyone else find washing and drying, especially the front area a bit of a chore. It's just lucky I love my tig.

I find that I'm forever fixing up dribbles from the mirror housings and around the tailgate. No matter how well I dry them there always seems to be some water marks

I use my ryobi one+ mini blower to dry and blow off (from top to bottom) as much water away in those surrounding areas to help reduce water residue and water stains, I do all the door jams, mirrors, front end and tailgate mostly, helps allot and reduces the drying time ...

The Tig is easy, had a Land Rover Evoque, that had more grooves and pokey holes to trap water than anything else I had ever owned. I just feel I am getting shorter to reach the centre of the roof!!MY19 162 Highline R-Line, SVP, Pano roof, Pure WhiteComment

GYEON Q2M Silk Drying Towel Large | Car Care Products Australia
This is hands down the best drying towel I have ever used. Does the entire car and doesn't leave any streaks behind.
Keen to know if anyone has bought themselves a step ladder or platform to make getting to the roof easier?Comment

I have just purchased the very blower myself in the hope of reducing drying time so is good to hear it helps. Black looks great when clean but sure is a dust magnet even when garaged.Originally posted by jaydeecee18 View PostMY18 Tiguan R Line Black-162 Highline TSI

I use The Big Green Sucker - Luxurious and plus drying towel. and to get to the middle of the roof you throw it while holding onto it. Work well. And yes the drop from the mirrors and tailgate are annoying.Comment

I get the occasional dribble (happens to us all when we get to a certain age ) but getting the R-Line front end clean is difficult especially where the spotlights meet the outer edge -it’s a weird angle and I struggle getting the sponge in there to clean it properly...

iDiesel, get a microfibre wash mitt. Sponges just push dirt particles around as you clean so you'll end up with swirl marks in no time.
The microfibre works by pulling the dirty away into the glove. Combine that with using two buckets, one for the suds, the other with water for cleaning your mitt per panel. Your paint will love you for it.
And no more hard to reach places!Comment

Washing with a sponge - wow. That is like using an electric stun wand on race horses, the detailing authorities will be around raiding your joint shortly.Originally posted by iDiesel View PostI get the occasional dribble (happens to us all when we get to a certain age ) but getting the R-Line front end clean is difficult especially where the spotlights meet the outer edge -it’s a weird angle and I struggle getting the sponge in there to clean it properly...
Do yourself a favour and bin that sponge, get a wash mit.Flipper Dog
