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.

    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

    i don't see myself getting rid of the buckets anytime soon, depending on the weather it will vary on how easily the dirt/contamination will come off easily or not from what's left behind...

    If its a daily drive now way you can only do foam cannon. Unless you wash it every few days.
