I was searching around this forum and found a couple things here and there. Just wanted to see what everyone else was doing/using. I live in a condo complex so I have to do all my washing/detailing outdoors. I don't really have access to an outlet for a PC - lucky for me my place at least has a wash bay. Currently I'm using:

• Gilmour Fomaster - don't really like it, about to change back to bucket washing
• Meguiar's Gold Class shampoo
• Einszett Wheel Cleaner
• Raggtopp Cleaner
• Raggtopp Protectant
• Einszett Glanz Wax
• Meguiar's Quick Detailer
• Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Spray
• Meguiar's Quick Interior Detailer

I apply the top cleaner and wheel cleaner first and let it soak in a little bit - scrub it and wash it off. Then I run through a round of foamaster, let it settle, then rinse it off. Go through another round of foamaster with a wash mit, rinse it off and dry. Apply the wax and a round of quick detailer. Then I do the interior. Whole process takes about 60-90 minutes.

Post up your process and the products you're using or let me know if I need to change up what I'm doing. Appreciate the help.

 

when i saw this thread, i instantly thought of ONR

it's called optimum no rinse, and it's a way to wash your car without rinsing it. it can be used to clean up any stronger cleaners you are using too

 

ONR popped into my head too

 

damn only 60-90 minutes?! you work quick.

I usually take 2-3 hours and that's without really cleaning the top

 

me too^ latley since i havent been driving the S much i just go out every night wipe down with ONR dulted 6oz/gallon. takes about 20 minutes if i take frequent breaks to talk with the neighbors.

 

what no pics?

and no badge request? (once pics are up, pm me the link)

 

I'd be pretty skeptical of any detail that took less than a couple hours. Hell, I can take nearly an hour just to wash and dry the car and top.

 

 

If one needs a quick wash, ONR is the ticket. See my brief review of ONR that I recently posted at MOL. ONR is also a godsend during the winter months.
