I ran mine through the touchless for 60k miles until I became an ADAMS fanatic. But I don't do the double bucket thing. Waste of soap. Pressure wash off the big chunks. Foam cannon that hog and hand wash it. I'm a believer now. Looks cleaner and shinier than it did new........

With the rain we had the last week I can park my truck in the driveway and have a distilled water bath...

I used to do the two bucket wash but now just use 6 or 7 wash mitts instead. No dirty mitt ever goes back in the wash bucket so no need for dirt guard etc.

Not sure why I bother now with the pin striping!

I'm with ya. Most of the time, I just blast the shit off, foam gun it, and wash it using two wash wedges. I won't be due for a good polish for a while, so I'm not worried. I can't be too picky in the winter either, despite warm water in my buckets, my hose water is still ******* freezing.

Yep, pressure washer and lots of suds with a foam gun or foam cannon.

If the truck is really dirty, I will use a single bucket with warm water to rinse out the wedge or pad between panels.
