No need for wash buckets for my car anymore...

[WRAPT C5Z06]

I invested in an AutoBrite Foam Cannon + 5 litres of AutoBrite Magifoam and Auto Finesse Avalanche. My ZL1 is a daily driver, but I wash it every weekend. It doesn't get overly dirty. I hit it with my foam cannon, let dwell for 10 minutes, then rinse with a pressure washer. This will leave the car 99% clean. I then use UWW+ as a drying aid and to get the paint slick. Dress the tires. Done!

On a side note, I use the foam cannon through CR Spotless DI water. This makes a big difference in the thickness of foam compared to regular city water. I have a gas pressure washer which helps, too.

I've found that a coated car can actually wash almost totally clean with a foam cannon-citrus presoak. Just rinse, and hit it with your favorite waterless wash as you did. Yes, the buckets can go...unless the car is not maintained regularly.

Do you still properly clean your tires before dressing them? I can see the paint and wheels getting clean but the tires get grime, tar, oils, etc. from driving around that aren't so easily cleaned.

:iagree:

Absolutely. While the foam is dwelling on the tire, I can see dirt releasing off the tire, so I'll scrub them with my tire brush and they come out clean enough to re-dress.

Hi Bob,

Currently, Four Star UPP.

FWIW, I'm not a coating fan. Good products, just not for me.

I read your reply in the email notification; you deleted it...lol

Anyhow, I never mentioned anything about waterless. My point of the thread is this method is much easier and quicker than 2-buckets.

Might work for a garage queen but not a daily driver. I'll stick to two buckets.
Does your zl1 have a 5.0 in it? Lol
