    Quarter Blaster is great in a pinch.



    [Use 2 bucket method (bring own gallons of water if desired).]



    Spray wheels, wheelwells, and tires with the desired cleaner and follow up with light agitation with the tool of your choice.



    Insert mandatory $2 (or whatever) to start rinse water.



    Spray off wheels, wheelwells and tires and follow up by wetting down the rest of the vehicle.



    This should take you to or beyond the warning beep.



    Hand wash vehicle (develops your speed--you don`t want the wash to sit on the paint too long).



    Start another rinse cycle followed by spot-free rinse.



    Pull to the vacuums to dry and focus on trouble spots (wheels, etc...).



    Enjoy the deafening rap music of those around you.
    Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.

Rinse thoroughly, start at the top, wash a small section then rinse, when you get to the lower sections change mitts, do the wheels and tires last.



    Just remember to keep pumping quarters in the machine. ;-)

    Once again, exactly what I do except I use a Chenille sponge for body and a seperate chenille sponge and car brush for lower pannels and wheels. I really should buy a couple quality mitts though.

    I do pretty well what bretfraz does but Ibring my water/soap mix with me in an old dishsoap plastic pail with a snap on sealing lid. I get everything ready then I pour the water/soap into my wash pail. When I insert the first $$$ I spray a little in the pail to foam it up ( usually trigger off still gets a little water stream). Then I rinse the car down and wash really fast using the mitt and holding the bucket in my hand. Second $$$ is used to rinse till the $$ runs out. Then I move off to dry.



    I use this in the winter mostly as I have a wash area at home.
