There was a visible sign that said driver must remain in vehicle and I couldn’t even dispute it. He didn’t care I was just helping my mom with the bags.

    That show Parking Wars featured Philly a lot. They give tickets out like crazy. Im glad I never got one when I went to school there.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    Yeah, I feel like 90% of that show was shot in Philly.

    Re: Detailing the car in the big city

    This is the same scenario I go through when I am on the road. A rinseless wash is the perfect solution. Get yourself a 5 gallon bucket with a grit guard and a gamma seal and a 3 gallon rinse bucket with a washboard. Fill the wash bucket up to the top with 5 gallons of water and seal it. Drive to a local park, an empty parking lot or somewhere with lots of room. Dump 2 gallons of water into your rinse bucket. Use the remaining 3 gallons of wash water for your rinseless wash. Wolfgang Uber is my personal favorite but ONR and Griots Brilliant Finish are also very popular. If the car is really dirty, a blast of a power rinse from the local coin op is a great way to start. A Worx Hydroshot is also a great way to blast the initial crud off of the car. If you use the Hydroshot, then it is a good idea to invest in another bucket with a gamma seal.
    I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.

    All of this ^^^^^

    Additionally the Worx hydroshot can be used to clean the tires/wheels/wells properly, thus netting you a better, more complete wash experienceDetailing the car in the big city
