Mike seen you do that, in an old video when you washed a mini cooper in your driveway.

Yep, that was the,

How to Wash Your Car (ShowCar style!)

On YouTube I shot in 2006 with Richard Lin, the point of that video was to really show people how to,

1. Start with the wheels and tires first and then start at the top and work your way down
2. Don't scrub your car's paint when you wash your car.

Fast forward 6 years and I'm still teaching and using those techniques today, heck even wrote an article about it recently here,

How to wash your car KISS style!

The bigger picture for this article was to find a way to measure your car wash soap that you can duplicate "easily" every time you wash your car instead of using the Glug-Glug Method.

The approach outlined in this article works no matter what type of measuring cup you use, I just seem to always have a traditional Dixie cup around the house leftover from family gatherings, birthdays and holidays.

In the end,

"Find something you like and use it often"

I picked up a hanful of the plastic shot glasses at my liquor store. 1.5 ounces and they are $.59. I get a few different colors so I don't cross contaminate products.
