Any idea if I can use a hand pump sprayer to spray degreaser onto a car?

Don't currently have a pressure washer, considering buying one as well but wondering if the hand pump is a good option too.

What shampoo you use pepsilol?

Had some Dodo Juice Basics of Bling to try yesterday and there was sod all suds! Maybe it's just the water around here.
 
It's a scam.

I use ultramousse through a snow foam then pressure wash off. Then I redo the snow foam and go over with a mitt.

I don't bother with 2bm as I just don't care enough. It's enough not to inflict too much damage as the car rarely gets that filthy..

For £14 you should really get 2 in a pack.. it is however awfully soft! Gonna give the Mrs car some tlc on the weekend and see how it compares on freshly washed paintwork as I only used that for mopping up the left over water on the Golf that the other 3 towels left behind (they were soaked).

Something is on the Golf (wax/sealent), must have had the AG LifeShine applied to it before I picked it up last week as water just beads on it and doesn't run off when it was stationary.
 
Two things.

1: Dark Metallic will drive me to an early coffin trying to keep it clean, yet I still love it, somehow, just somehow :D

2: Polished stainless steel exhaust tips will drive me up the wall. The inside is what it should be like, the outside is what it is like after just a fairly short drive in the rain. Should have stuck with brushed matte finish!

That's pretty much what I do as well. When you have three cars to look after you can not be so anal. Snowfoam, cup of tea, rinse, re foam then wipe with a mitt and rinse. I normally have a bucket to rinse out the mitt now and again. Can do three cars in a hour. Would be quicker if it wasn't for the hard water in my area.

Use the cheap foam from Clean your car then finish with chemical guys wash and wax.
 
Can't remember if I mentioned this already, C4 Permanent Trim Restorer, the most expensive thing I've bought to clean my car (if you calculated it by litre)

Wet kitchen roll left on it for a few minutes to soften it up. Then I normally use a MF cloth and sort of roll the poo off the paint (trying to avoid rubbing it in).
