WTF?! dirty car again

Am I the only WW evo owner which gets a dirty car a day after washing? I washed yesterday evening, and the car is dirty in the morning! Any suggestions on keeping it clean? (I cant park in the garage cuz its full of ish)

Consider yourself lucky you don't have Graphite Gray. I literally wash my car about 4 times a week.

You realize that you're just dragging that dust and causing slight scratches. Those slight scratches end up becoming swirl marks. Next time use a quick detailer to soak up the dust and create a layer between the paint. And please use a plush MF towel. That rag is going to kill your clear.

Get a can of engine degreaser and soak the engine bay down. I did that on my last car and it came out great, stunk up the garage though.
My other car I took to the car wash and used a can or 2 of engine degreaser then took a pressure washer to it. (while it was running of course, and I didn't spray directly on the alternator) Just back and forth, it came out beautiful.
