This was supposed to be a write up with pictures but after having issues with two camera's, I was tired of screwing with them.

The past couple of days we have had a light dusting of snow. I have been driving my Jeep and it was starting to get some salt on it. I decided it would make the perfect test bed for for the Quick N Easy Wash.

Overall I am very impressed. The jeep looks much better. It became even more apparent that I need to get a coat of wax on it. It also needs polished out, maybe even a rotary. Because of this I was unable to tell if it scratched, but I can tell you the rinse water was black. But the jeep was clean.

Things I will do differently:
Use more than one rinse bucket.
Use more than one soap bucket. I used 4 liters of water and two capfuls of soap. Next time I will make two separate batches to insure clean soap water.
Use more towels for application.

Overall I am please with the product. It is easy to use and a great option for those of us in colder climates with unheated garages.

Ken, Now do you understand why I like the extra heat from the lights. 51 deg is much better than 31

I use QEW anytime I don't have access to a water spigot. It works if you are careful, but it has GREAT potential to scratch your finish.

I use the two or three bucket wash method-- that is soap the paint, and thoroughly rinse/clean the mitt, then reapply QEW from the soap bucket again, and work my way around the car.

QEW is also handy if you know you're going to buff the car with a PC as any scratches induced will be removed by buffing.

QEW is much like quick detailing a car but being more liberal with the water/detailer. Best not to use on heavily soiled cars.
