Randy,

I rarely use soap to wash my cars unless they are really dusty or dirty...soap takes away the wax and sealant at some point...So, no soap, just hot water?

+1
and use the quick detailing spray.

I just use cold water, diaper cloth, and then waffle towels to dry.

Once a week. Melrose detail on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles. It's only hand washing and Tuesdays and Thursdays there's a special for $11 instead of $13.

Damn thats a good deal! Down here in newport to get it hand washed its at least like $25 cause they charge you a bunch for asking it not to be put on the tracks...besides I like cleaning it myself anyway!

1. Pre rinse vehicles paintwork and allow to soak under a blanket of 'Snow Foam'

2. Whilst the cars paint is soaking to loosen up the dirt we clean the wheels using PH neutral wheel cleaner to remove brake dust and tar spots form both the face & the inside edges of the wheels. At the same time, the tires will be cleaned removing inground dirt.

3. Pre treat & jet wash inside the wheel arches to remove dirt.

4. Rinse the car's bodywork with clean water & then wash carefully using the "two bucket" method to minimize contaminant transferal to the cars paintwork, thereby minimizing infliction of "wash marks". All washing carried out using 100% lambs wool wash mitts.

5. The cars bodywork & wheels are the carefully dried using "waffle weave" and microfibre drying cloths.
