Great tip for those that use the water flow

[runnerbl]

rinse method. I use the flow method to rinse my vehicles to rid them of most of the water but it never fails that I lightly hit the vehicle with the tip of the hose by getting to close to the car, so I bought the replacement ends that are plastic and cut off the metal ends and replaced them. Now if I accidentally hit the paint, no chance of damage being done...Maybe I am the only idiot that inadvertantly hits the paint.

CharlesW posted a great tip a long time ago. He basically recommended cutting off a piece of old hose about 2 feet long and using that as the end piece for the flood rinse. It works very well.

What do you mean, "flow method"?

Take of the nozzle and just let a stream of water flow over the car. By doing this there will be very little water to wipe off. 90% of the water sheets off versus using a nozzle it just beads up and stays on the vehicle.

Alternatively, what I have done is bought a multi-pattern spray nozzle. One of the settings is "soak" which disburses water basically in the same manner as if there was no sprayer on the end of the hose. It`s plastic so no worries about hitting the paint.

The water pools together and runs off . A slow steady stream starting from the top..Then WW to get the rest . I also like to use a water blade..
