Ask who? So you just squeeze a lemon into water? Basically you use lemonade as a cleaner? Sounds sticky, beedom do not do that.

Hate if you want I honestly could care less since I know it works and as I said a lot of retailers use it. D

........ but honestly ....... please stop being silly guys.

What happened to all the off topic warnings now?

I use the two bucket method to wash everything I own........ yes all 6 of them.

I have gotten into detailing as of late. It is EXTREMELY rewarding.

I will let Marcus outline it all and I may add to that if I feel I can be more helpful.

Um I'm smart enough to know that a lemon will make a mess not clean without trying it.

Also look into paint sealants. They help a car wash easier.

I am currently using Klasse AIO.

Marcus has some experience with OptiCoat

Yea the two bucket is what I've always done...I'm going to wash it when I get off work at 6 that way, and try out my new washer. My main problem is drying I feel like thats always what screws me over.

Either get a good Chamois or a good set of microfiber towels. When drying the burb I usually end up using at least 15 towels to dry it.

CHAMOIS and you wring it out... i have a 24x18 cham for the boats and i use it on the truck paid $28 for it about 8 years ago and it is the best damn thing you can buy,.. to keep them good and absorbing.. i ring out and roll put in a zip lock and in the fridge in garage.. it is the ONLY WAY TO DRY ANYTHING...

by god i dont even use paper towels to clean the windows.. paper towels are for dog piss on the floor, spilt juice, dry hands, eating hot wings... love of all things worthy of a nice paint job and a shine keep PAPER TOWELs the H3LL away from them..

you recommend paper towels or lemon again = BAN end of subject
