Very cool thread. I`m trying to get my own process together for posting, but after reading yours, Justin`s, and truedetailer`s I keep changing things. Thanks!

Wow this is incredible! thanks for the write-up, this method sounds like it will definitely cut down on time while not having to sacrifice the quality of the service.

That is a forum BEST I`ve read. We all like/love you Scott, but really that`s taking it to another level. See now all you have to do is link the noobs to this thread and save some time. :think2 :woot2:

Awesome writeup Scott. Maybe the moderators can make it sticky for all us noobs!

Reading over the Click & Brags over time I have gathered a lot of this, but it`s so much more convenient to have it all in one place. Very good description of PC technique--this takes time to learn if you only polish 2-3 cars per year.

I`m still amazed you can wash a whole car with only two gallons of water. I`m a convert to ONR but it takes me four gallons. Maybe when spring comes I can cut back.

Did I just miss it or does the post not talk about interior cleaning? Sorry it`s been a long day teaching elementary school PE.

**imported_Grouse** · 02-22-2007, 01:44 PM

The current trend was How you wash cars.

next month is interior cleaning.

the month after that is wheels

then engine bay,

then how to get dead hooker stink out of a trunk.

Very nice thread Scott. I learned even more from this one!

**Mr.Cool** · 02-22-2007, 01:55 PM

Enjoyed - thanks for taking the time to post.

Now this is a very "PRO"fessional system!

Thanks Scott!

I like it. I have washed my cars myself for 22 years. Been to a car wash once and I was pissed at the job they did so I made them wash it again.....got it home and wanted to kick myself because my interior smelled like a mildew rag and I could see the dirty towel scratches in the paint. NEVER AGAIN!. The only thing I have not gotten into is the ONR. I take care of my cars at home and have pleanty of room and do warm water washes. good write up.

Honestly, if you try a rinseless washing and get the technique down (takes a couple washes) you may end up not wanting to bother dragging out a hose to wash unless your car is caked in mud!

Man I should have read this before I went to work today! I washed and waxed a brand new black escalade and it took almost 4 hours. I have never spent that much time on a wash and wax. The lady is VERY miticulous and its pretty big.

I used ONR once and it took forever. I guess thats why you say it will take some getting used to. I would like to just use ONR but I have to practice. If I would have done that suv in less than an hour I would have had time for an exterior detail, that had to get pushed to tuesday. Anyway great write up. thanks
