I've been using QEW (Quick Easy Wash) for over five years and am very satisfied with the results. If my trucks are really dirty, I usually do a coin-op wash first to get the "major" crud off. This morning I was trying to beat some rapidly dropping temperatures and did not have the time to drive the twenty miles to the nearest coin-op. (Yep, I'm a "country guy".)
I have several of Meguiar's wash brushes left from the "good old days" so I decided to wash the grungy sides of my truck outside applying QEW with a brush. Then run the truck back into the garage where the temperatures were still in the high thirties to finish the job with QEW and a chenille wash mitt.
I used about five gallons of QEW-warm water mix outside with the brush. The temperature had already dropped to about 25 degrees. The Meguiar's brushes hold a bunch of liquid and you can cover a lot of "territory" quickly. I didn't dry what I had washed.
The inside wash job with the mitt took about two and a half gallons of the mix. I was able to take my time and do it right, rewashing the sides as well as the rest of the truck
The final result -- a clean truck with no marring.
Too bad the brushes are no longer available. However, the very pricey boars hair brushes would "git-r-done" just as well.
Our temperature now? 9 degrees with a wind chill of - 8. Not a good temperature for any kind of wash anywhere.
