I was looking through the new Motor Trend and saw an ad for "Turbo-Wash" a product that sprays equal ratios of water and soap onto the car. Anyone try this? Is it effective? Pros/Cons

Not even close to hand washing. :D

Well so much for that then...:)

When you have good products for hand washing, nothing that I know of, compares.

How about this:

That is probably similiar to what Chris is talking about...:dunno

I still doubt it would be as clean as a good hand wash...personal preferance.

Foam gun (image posted up by Steve530) could work well if you do it right since your saturating everything at an even stage.

Yea, with the foam gun you still wash the car by hand. It just keeps a supply of soap and water to minimize scratches.

you're still going to have to scrub with a soft sponge to get all of the dirt off anyways. Just using one of those power washer things will get your car slightly cleaner than if it just sat in the rain.

How dare you become lazy enough to put down the wash mit! Only the best for your bimmer. Not to mention the satisfaction that comes from have a perfectly clean car, and a good sweat.

Oh no, trust me, I still am commited to detailing her 100% by myself. I was just curious as to what people though about this thing.

I've spent up to 9-10 hrs detailing the car...

Nothing competes with hand washes.

some use a foam gun to spay a consistent supply of lubricant over the car while using a wash mit. This is an attempt to minimize marring of the paint.
