    Home car washing has evolved a lot. The latest way to be fast and efficient is not to use the old way of a bucket of detergent and sponge on and rinse with a garden hose that takes time and lot of labor. The new method like a car wash is to use the automatic action of scrubbing bubbles using a foam gun and garden hose or what is much better a high pressure foam Cannon and high pressure rinse to get that stubborn dirt off easily and quickly using a Pressure Washer!

    We did three cars very quickly. It is good for the new paint they use and came out nice. I tried it on my old tractor and it seamed that maybe some elbow grease on the tractor may get more of the ground in dirt off.

    Thanks, I'd been wondering the outcome. Maybe trying a stronger soap for the tractor ?
