I stopped doing 2-bucket 15 years ago so my normal process is basically this: (1.) If it's been in snow or rain (ie. road film) spray down w/ degreaser pre-wash
(2.) Spray down the car with deionized water + rinseless, let it drip for 5 min
(3.) Grab a clean chenille mitt, dip it or spray it with de-i+RW
(4.) Do the roof, flip, do the hood, then do the windshield & windows only
(5.) Grab clean mitt #2, dip it, do waist up pass-side, flip it, do waist-up drivers
(6.) Grab clean mitt #3, dip it, do waist down to bottom 1/4, flip, do the rocker
(7.) Grab clean mitt #4, dip it, do the other side waist-down & bottom/rocker
(8.) Grab clean mitt #5, dip it, do the tail-gate, flip, do the front end
(9.) Dry with a double twistress
(10.) every 4-5 weeks I put on a layer of water-based sealant
Over the years I've found this to be the best process with the least marring and it has the benefit of being super simple, can be done anywhere without access to running water - incl on roadtrips!
, and takes 20 seconds to set up and clean up.
So, basically, I always have a bucket full of de-i + rinseless in the garage, and a marolex sprayer in the trunk for when I'm away from the house, and use a"]a"]a"]a"]a"]a"]a"]a hydroshot with the watering wand to spray down the car. That's super portable so I can take it [...] |
Just watched the Gary Dean Method, seems like a very efficient and effective way to clean a car. Only thing I don’t like about it, it removes the need for all the new product I have
Gorgeous X5M. Is that aventurine or ruby red?
Edit - not sure why quoting you seems to unravel the apps formatting.
