Should we ask Mr. Mojo to lock this thread. Between you and me, this will be like witnessing the meeting of Smith and Wesson.

Sponges take twice as long, and don't get into all the little nooks and crannies like a mitt. Need an expert here.

ALEX -- dude,
do you have a carpark space with your apartment?
I do and use 4 of these
rinse
two buckets for the usual one to rinse one to dunk the microfibre sponge
refill the 4 1 gallon jugs and presto - rinse and dry
if your seriously interested in discussing a small business PM me
in Australia we have www.carlovers.com.au
they are DA BOMB
two modes
1. auto car wash - quick in , quick out, lazer guided like our canadian friend , touchless as he says
2. (the most popular choice)
4 or 6 bays that have a high pressure hose dangling from the roof, insert coins - sprays soap, engine degreaser, high pressure rinse, wax (if your game), wheel cleaner, and tricklewater rinse (no spots) - rev-heads luv em
I Love Em
part of their pitch is both the Rev-head (sorry, ENTHUSIAST) community and also to the council and tree huggers.
all the water in the site is recycled and reused or something - its very advanced.

Hmmmm, I'll have to check that one out. The self wash place I go to now is out in the open so if you have someone next to you, you're gonna get sprayed.

If you are still looking to invest (Alex, Devil) look into one where the car owner doesn't have to get involved. Right Shermon......

I will have to hunt down that place. I try to wash my car by hand, but I don't always have the time.
