    Re: car soap before during or after 3-5 gallon of water?

    I fill with water, add the soap concentrate and then use the mitt to mix in the soap.

    Definitely water first, then add soap. Swish around with grit guard or blast quickly with pressure washer.

    Watch how he mixes the bucket with his hand because "suds aren't a crucial part of the washing process." And I agree!

    Put about 3 gallons of water in the bucket first and then add the soap. I like to use the Mike Phillips method of using my hand for mixing. Then give it a blast of water to build up the suds.
