First and foremost. never use chemicals from any car wash. 98% of them are very harsh and cause heavy water spots to form. Invest in som high quality stuff like Mequires or Stay Fresh car care products.**** sometimes i even use a 3 bucket wash if the car is very dirty. Home depot sell 5 gallon buckets for like $3. Always presoak the car and use a microfiber towel when washing.

Junkmans videos are very educational!

This is the process I use with Meguiars Wash and Wax for a basic wash:

1) Rinse car thoroughly
2) Dip in soap and use a sponge to hand wash the whole body
3) Pressure wash (high pressure) using up/down method
4) One more time wash/wax to get everything off
5) Dry with terry towels
6) Apply window cleaner and wipe/tire foam and wheel cleaner wipe
7) Air dry
