Clean the brush first with a blast from the jet. Use lots of foam and don't press too hard. Stand back with the jet and let the mist rinse the car.

I love the fact you can buy the joe public version of demon foam - does 20 washes. Or you can go to GSF and buy the trade, non diluted version - does 100 washes.

LOL

I got given a bottle of the demon shine foam,. I was impressed but the smell damn it stinks of marzipan.

Re jet washes as much as I hate to j use the local jet washes for somd contactless cleaning when weather is shot and my drive could \ will freeze if. I was the car at home. Would recommend that you invest in a hand sprayer and some citrus prewash to hit the car with. If you have the car well prepped and protected and regularly get the worst f the dirt off it doesn't always require a full wash. I know it will still have some of the harder to remove dirt but windows, lights and plates will be clean
