Great documentation there Zippy!
I used to use soap from the "Mr. Clean AutoDry" system. Not the whole system - just the soap worked about the same. But I gave it up cuz it was just to darn expensive. $10 a bottle seems pretty good, but I doubt it would be any less than twice that in Canada if we can even get it here

what I did was wash the car with mothers car wash soap then used Maguire's cleaner wax then used this polymer called sonax made in Germany put it on last six months .So when you wash water has tiny beads and use a chamois to wipe off no water spots

Good write up on this. My neighbor uses some kind of wash and wax and then uses a leave blower to dry his vehicles.... anyone ever try doing that? I've always been scared to try the leave blower method as it could stir up dust etc lol

Local car wash here used the blower in the wash bay. You got the regular power wash wand, then one for shampoo interior, and another for doing tires and undercarriage. Then the blower to dry the car down.
All said and done the wash was well over $5.00 you can see the timers ticking away and when you add another quarter as soon as it is in the slot you are getting the alarm again. I think they program them that way to get you to spend more $.

This thread is about washing, so maybe I can ask about bug removal ...
Took a quick drive about a hour total, but on the drive I get a couple chances to speed if no traffic. Today was clear sailing, but bugs like crazy on my just cleaned car
Is there something to wipe the bugs off the bumper so they don't soak in ?
What do you all do to make your ride clean after a bug filled drive?

My daughter used Hair spray when she lived at home and got it all over the place. Cleaning ladies the wife hired couldn't get it off.
I used Lemon Pledge and took it right off! Clean ladies were like what?
