I use a cheap hose sprayer that has a canister @ the bottom. I think they are for spraying lawns. Got it at home depot. It's like the cheap ones @ walmart, but has a bigger canister to hold more soap/product. Makes good foam. I use a premix gallon of poorboys super slick to fill the container and set the rate at the highest setting.

In the home depot sprayer, what ratio of something like meg's gold to water would you suggest? or do you just fill the sprayer with all soap?

I use an Ortho Dial and Spray Multi-use Hose-end Sprayer.(home depot)
cup capacity is 32 ounces. I also use a hose quick connect purchased @ wal-mart

I've been using poorboys super slick soap. !/4 cup in a gallon bottle. I set the sprayer setting to it's max 8 oz. Make sure you shake up the gallon bottle really well before using. Makes good suds imo. I just use it as a pre-soak. My method is under the wacko influence brought on by this fine forum is:
rinse really well
use foam gun let sit for a bit
rinse again
2 bucket method using grit guard in each bucket
I've been using sheep skin mitt, but recently purchased an all white ShMitt.
I also use warm soft water. I plumbed a hot water line to my front yard

Also I find poorboy's a bit pricey so I'm gonna try gold class next time around..It's just a pre-soak so I'll save the poorboy's for the bucket.

there are a lot of steps I left out, but I don't want to expose my extreme OCD

This forum is great. I have no secrets. What I do have is many "thanks" for all the great advice in this forum.

Yep that is how mine works. It makes life some much easier. Add a bit of p21s auto wash for the cars to be polished and it works wonders.

That looks really cool F-minus..That's a pressure washer attachment correct? I wonder if my cheap one cand do the same with just a straight (or stronger) solution? I may have to give it a try. I'm gonna try that jet steal you also recommended. It's a sealant right?
