I am more into the traditional ways, wash mitt to apply car-wash-detergent onto the panel, then rinse the panel with the "soak" function on the hose-head.

Panel by panel. usually the whole wash will take about 45-60 mins including the wheels.

If clay and wax, then add another 90 mins.





do you clay all the time?? I know you don't need to clay too often, but wax and be like once every 3-6 weeks.
Yeah I do exactly what you do. I try to wax and clay every 3 weeks or every 3rd wash depending on the dirtiness. I always clay before I wax for fresh coat :S

Yeah I just rinse normally with water, 2 bucket method with mitt each panel, and rinse then dry. For some reason, I thought with the pressure foam gun you can use it to rinse and scrub at the same time haha
