How to wash, dry & dress 2 cars in an hour...

[imported_Luster]

This is really a variation on David B`s Quick Detailing article (excellent article).



I did a very thorough detail to both of my Pontiacs this weekend, then it rained all day today.



Clearing tonight so I decided to give both cars a good cleaning.



Too cold and dark outside to wash, so I used the "2-bucket, no hose" method inside the garage.



He we go.



Materials....



2 buckets warm water

2 MF towels

1 capful carwash soap



Procedure...



Dipped MF in soapy water and did one panel at a time.



Then re-dip in clear water and re-wipe.



Dry each panel with dry MF.



Repeat for all panels and door jambs.



Repeat for all wheels.



Dress tires and done!



This took about 30 minutes for each car.



You can do this in a garage even when it`s sub-zero outside!



Thanks, David B. for the nice tips!!!



What a fun hour of recreation and cardio-vascular excersize!

Sounds similar to using to using QEW, except for the rinsing part. ;)

I often do the same thing, too! When I had my white car, I didn`t even use the rinsing bucket... a QD after washing took care of the shampoo residue.

Did something similar tonight. My car hadn`t been washed for 3 weeks and was filthy. As I finished up washing it, I decided to clean the tree sap off my wife`s car in the garage. Out with the QEW! 20 minutes later I was done with the second car. Both cars took just slightly over an hour, partially because my car was really dirty.

I recently had to have my windshield replaced. I could not wash the car for 4 days! So I used the 2 bucket system, it worked fine!
