Here in Texas, washing your car on your driveway can get you fined if you're caught :(

Drought laws in affect so generally can't use too much water :/

Especially when there's dirt spots and dirt roads which leave a huge mess, my best option comes down to carwash (cringe)

Waterless wash for that situation.

feel free to use whatever product you think works best. the only thing that truely matters is the quality of product used not to mention my vehicle has 5 layers of acrylic sealant and a layer of wax.

I love the honey dew cleaner, realyl foams up amazing, hoping to find a new soap local though, hate having to buy a bunch to save on shipping from chemical guys. I really need to do some more research and find a good foamy soap for use in my foam gun.

Any ideas? Anyone?

Ended up getting a foam gun and a gallon of the honeydew soap from chemical guys ! Super excited to try them out :happyanim: !

I did the same but I haven't received it yet. I'll start out by rinsing the car off completely. Then foam the car. Let the soap drip off. Rinse again. Then 2 bucket wash method using 2 mitts (one for top of the car one for the bottom half). I'll have grit guards in each bucket. Then rinse. Dry with waffle weave. Polish. Buff. Wax. Buff. If you guys haven't checked out the junkmans videos, I suggest you should. He's like a guru when it comes to washing cars.
