Show car paint washing, and New Fresh Paint washing
How you ever used Mr Clean Car wash? I will explain what it is. The mr clean car wash uses a soap that has wax in it. It ofcourse is not needed if your car has been waxed recently. Heavy water is water that has deposits and checmicals that make drinking water safe. These include flouride, chlorine, Iron, and calcium just to name the most common. Some also have copper deposits and even PVC which flakes off of the inside of household piping. Any metal parts in the water you are washing with always results in tiny scratches. It may take 50 washes for these scratches to be obvious but even at one wash per week thats less than 4 months. Flouride and chlorine bleach your paint. These things are added to drinking water to keep it safe but it's not good for cars or the enviroment. The Car is Washed with a soap that has lubricant /wax ( carnaubue natural wax ) mixed in the solution. Then rinsed with water that has been filtered. Mr clean car wash may cost 14-16 dollars for three washes worth if using as directed. However what if I dont wanna use thier product. Heres the DIY Part!
DIY Spot Free Car Wash ,enviromentally friendly

1. Pull out a bucket that is clean on the inside. Fill is with filtered water as in next step. This is your hand washing bucket. Have MicroFiber Rags/ towels avialable as they actually clean debris VERY well using very little soap. I would only add enough soap that it feels Slippery when washing ( that could be a capful of carwash solution made by turtle wax).

2. Use a Brita or Pur water filter pitcher. Fill up the Water Filter, It makes about a gallon at a time. You need 2 gallons to wash with in a Seperate bucket and then another 2 gallons to fill your pressure sprayer.

34.99 and can be reused about 10 washes before you need to get another filter. Replacement filter is 12.99 at walmart. Thats 1.29 per filtered car wash ( plus soap) FYI verses around 5 dollars per wash with Mr Clean Solution.

3. You can get a Insecticide pressure sprayer ( one of those that has a nozzle hose and hand pump on top) and fill it with the filtered water.

2 Gallon 45 PSI Pump sprayer $11.95 + SH

4. Use my instructions from the previous post on how to wash a car. Wash the car like you are suppose to with a low surfactant residue soap ( car soap). Then rinse with the filtered water. Wash each area then immediatly rinse with the clean filtered water. The Filtered water rinse leaves the paint finish spot free. It could take 15 minutes longer to wash your whole car this way but the results are much better and your car will be happy.

Notice: Really the only thing you need to worry about here is using a good wax ( after washing) or soap with wax and Rinsing with filtered water. The filtered water can be poured straight from a pitcher but that takes probably 10-15 fills to wash the whole car. I rather use a pressurized spray bottle.

Using this kind of portable water source makes this form of car washing Apartment Friendly as there are not garden hose hookups required.
