So who brings a bucket and sponge to the car wash?
Hey all:
With winter upon us and no warm days in sight, I was wondering who brings a bucket and sponge with them to the car wash? I was thinking about doing this so I can clean my 8 properly. Even with the high pressure wash, it does not remove all the dirt and grime from the paint surface.
If you do bring a bucket, make sure it's later at night as most places frown upon washing your car when other people are waiting in line. My question is, who does this already? I might run out around 8pm tonite to give this a shot :D

I keep all my zaino stuff, and about 8 clean towels, in the back of the car for just such occasions. Just gotta be careful they don't see you, because they'll fuss if they catch you with your own stuff.

Always have used a bucket, sponge, and my own car wash at the high pressure car washes....until I bought a pressure washer that is. No one EVER said a word to me, even with the owner of the place there, and a line waiting. Usually you spend more money when you use a sponge and bucket cause you are more meticulous. The owners seem to understand this here in Columbus, Ohio!

OK... at 9:30pm tonite, I went out and washed my car by hand. I brought a bucket, some microfiber hand towels and some baby shampoo. I was actually suprised how warm the water was to wash my 8. I washed the whole thing in about 5 mins with clean soapy water. Took all but 2 minutes to rinse her off. A few quick jaunts down the highway to dry her off and she is looking good. Not as good of a job if it was 70+ degree's out, but WAY better than just using the pressure wash. I'm a happy camper!! :D
