Default Cost Effective Car Wash

Instead of pouring car wash into a bucket and filling it with water, fill a spray bottle up with the car wash. Wet the car down and start spraying the car wash. Just remeber to keep rinsing off the sponge or mitt or whatever you use to scrub a car down. Also the Mr. Clean car wash is all fine and dandy and works wonders. People just buy the soap and spray it the same way. Only thing missing is the filter.

this advice is a little sketchy. you cannot get enough lubricant by spraying the soap by itself onto a car. all this will give is a lot of fine scratches that will drive you nuts. you need plenty of water and soap to help break down the dirt before wiping your vehicle

Well you wet the car down first and then spray the car wash mix from the spray bottle scrub and then rinse the car. Very occassionally rinsing the wash mitt with high pressure to get the dirt out.

'spray' wax and then wash car? I'm a little confused. also "very occasionally" rinse the mitt?

I rinse my mitts real often and I also use one mitt for the top of the car, one for the bottom and a separate one for my rimss

Let me brake it down step by step. First rinse the car. Put some car soap into a spray bottle. Spray the car using the soap... Instead of using a bucket. save some car wash and some money that way. Wash the mit as usual during the sudsing proscess. Rinse as usual then spray the wax.
