I just use a spray on detailing wax. Don't have to drag out all the car washing stuff and hoses plus no water spots. Just takes minutes and car is all polished and looks great.
Name of product, please. And thanks in advance❗️

When you wash it on the grass, take the tires off and put the car on some cinder blocks.

Pro tip: Avoid making a mess and save money at the same time by washing your car in your neighbors driveway and use their water.

While naked.

Meguiar's Ultimate Kwik Wax is a nice product. But don't use it to wash your car. Personally, I run my car through the cheapest car wash at a gas station. I bring along a few microfiber towels. As soon as I'm out of the car wash, I park right there at the gas station. I spray on the Kwik Wax and lightly buff it off, constantly using a clean microfiber. It gets the last bit of dirt off, dries off the car, and waxes it at the same time. The car looks great, I haven't scratched up rubbing dirt into the clear coat, and it still beads water two months later.

Does anyone use a power sprayer? Would seem quick and easy.

I've got one and have tried it. It gets off most of the dirt but not all of it. Then when you dry your car, you see all kinds of dirt in your towel. I find it's not really worth the time to set up the power-washer when you have to go over it by hand anyway. The one exception would be if your car is full of salt or mud, it's good to use a power-washer before a hand wash to get the big stuff off.

When I first liberally sprayed a tire shine type product on my tires it dripped from the tires onto the concrete and stained it. Even our gas power washer would not get rid of the brownish marks. It took using acetone & vigorous brushing to clean the spots. So...either don't use it but if you do, wipe the stuff on with a rag or spray it on when parked in the street or in a parking lot at a store.
Don't you wish the tire shine lasted as long!
