But I mop my garage floor so I'm nuts...lol And I have piped my compressed air system so I have quick disconnects at each tire along the wall and one in between the garage doors for the tires not next to a wall.
I would love to valve in a header so I had the ability to have two wands at the ready. But since I hand wash after I have plenty of time to swap nozzles. I leave my car foamed up while I rinse my foam cannon out and then I completely spray it down with a pressured nozzle. After that is when I go to town with the garden hose and double bucket method using a microfiber mitt. I also wash the inside of the wheels during tire rotations to get to the spots I can't easily clean with the wheel brushes I use.
My wife says they are just cars and rolls her eyes at my efforts. But thankfully she realizes that I put that much effort into caring for her as well. Her coworkers are always amazed that her 8 year old car is so perfect when they take it to lunch. I'm lucky she realizes it even tho she pokes at me for it...lol

lol! Is it weird that I can't wait for the day where I can mop my epoxy (future) floors?Our wash methods are pretty much the same. I do the wheels first and then wash the car though. I probably switch back and fourth and foam a little too much, but my vehicles are swirl free so I guess its working!
my wife says the same thing, she thinks its insane that I spent what I did on the pressure washer! (good thing i did it before I had met her lol) Of course my wife could care less if the outside of a car is clean...after all a car is just a vehicle to get you to where your going
She has a horse and lives at the barn so its pretty much pointless to keep her car clean. It kills me but ive learned to live with it!
