You could actually watch the water puddles start to dry! Nice, like the roll the car back a bit to put the dressing on the bottom of the tire. I always forget to do that! Nice vid!

I think it was the way the sun was hitting the car or the camera angle because there was plenty of suds on the car. It even looked like I was washing the car with just water even though there was plenty of suds on the mitt as well. I'm not saying the Target gun provides more suds than Adam's or Autogeek's foam guns, but it provides plenty and it's only $7.

typically i like to wash my cars early early morning or late evening or even when it is lightly raining, might look weird to see someone washing a car while its raining but you never have to worry about it drying and spotting. when i get done i pull in the garage and dry it all off at once. early morning when the cars covered in dew is a good time too.

excellent video btw.

hey, switch to decaf! Or, if you get paid by the hour for washing cars, your business is going to suck.

Great video!!!! You did a great job with all the little details most people miss. ...trunk, hood, doors.
