No to the car wash
No to the U wash.
Only use the two bucket method.
It took me 6 months to figure this out.

Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go straight to the two bucket method.

Did I mention, two bucket method.
And nope, the pressure washer is only a first step, and for rinsing.

Use the two bucket method.
