Stay away from those Moo Moo Expresses, that's for sure ... :laughing:

If needed I will run through the touchless wash to keep up on trying to keep it clean. During the hunting season can be the hardest time keeping the truck clean.
Pretty much my exact routine although I do a pre-treat with an Uber or similar at WW ratio. Also, I always use their final "spot free" rinse after I have done the main rinse, esp. if I am going to be lazy and do the highway drying technique instead of hand drying.
I also do RW's when the vehicles aren't too bad. GD method all the way and I usually dump a dozen towels in the bucket for good measure.

I use a dozen of these :
Cobra 12 Pack Edgeless Polishing Cloths
These are the same as the Forrest Green Cobras but I like the lighter color as it makes it easy to tell when/where it's dirty. $20 (or less on sale) for a dozen, you could only get 3-4 mitts for that price.
Re: Best winter washing method
If it is at least 30 degrees, I will do a bucket wash in the driveway. Sometimes I forget to bring the hose inside the garage to make sure it thaws. When that happens, I fill some buckets and use the Worx Hydroshot to blast as much crud off of the surface as I can. Then I will do a rinseless wash. Just make sure that you are working on the surface of the car facing the sun. Any surface in the shade will freeze up.
It is also a good idea to invest in some ice fishing gloves. Glacier Bay gloves will keep your hands warm and dry and you can get them at Bass Pro Shop.

Those are thick neoprene gloves? I've used nitrile gloves in the past.

They are fleece lined neoprene gloves. They are thick enough to keep your hands warm but you can still get the feel of tools and towels.
