Ask Neil - hippy-orange. His boot is a mini Valleting playground, water butt, foams the lot, plus more cleaning products than halfords.. Quite impressive really. Even if he did spend the previous 5 days cleaning, he still does a few hours more on the stand.

Ha ha ha :goingmad:

But yes very true :wallbang: :handsup:

I have a water tight bucket that keeps the heat in, from a company called zaino but I'm sure you can get one cheeper else where, fill it up with boiling water before you leave then your ready to go when you get there, also drive under 65 mph to stop flys killing them selfs all over the front of your car :mhihi:
Other then that, ph neutral soft wash, lambs wool mitt , wash wax anywhere, wheel cleaner and a micro fibre, glass cleaner and a micro, tyre shine and applicator etc etc etc etc

Look up a product called Optimum No Rinse.
It's very simple to use. Have a pump sprayer with 15ml of product topped with water, then a bucket with 15ml in 10l of water.
Presoak a panel at a time, leave for around a minute, wash down with a wash mitt and then dry.
20 minutes to wash the car down. Then finish with a quick detailer and it's all done.

You can use it for lots of other tasks too - mix as a QD, clay lube, it's great on glass.
