Hello frsinsd and welcome to FR-S ownership and ...... The Forum.....

If I were in your situation, I would stop at a hardware store and purchase a 2 gal bucket. Then stop at your local auto store and buy some car washing soap and a bundle of microfiber towels, plus one of those adsorbent woven towels.

Back in the day, we used a chamois skin to dry off a car ....... oh, never mind ....

Now, go to one of those put-a-quarter-in-every 30 second U do it car washes.

Dial up "rinse" and fill your bucket with water ...... then wet down the car. Add soap to the bucket of water and wash. Rinse off and dry the car.

See how easy that was .........

OR, you can venture over to the forum's car care section and read up on 100 ways to wash a car and 50 different products to use .........
