During the winter using the high pressure wands works just remember the wands don't get it clean so your just rubbing the dirt into the paint when you wipe it down. Just blast it and hit the road.Wash the windows as needed.

I used to take a5 gal paint bucket with lid filled with hot water and mitts to the wash at night and after knocking all the shit off , I would wash it by hand and use the wand to rinse. I had several owners chase me off and post signs...

* never let soapy water dry on a car and if it does wash it again with soapy water to get it off.

I don't like touch up washes but if you keep your ride polished, glazed, and waxed they serve their purpose i guess, I've never used one.

May I ask what the new to you ride is?

Thanks for the help. I've always had 6-8 year old cars before this ever since I was in high school & college. So don't do much attentive washing.
