Winter Washing (Alternate to ONR)

After reading the thread regarding ONR No Rinse I decided to try an alternate way of washing the car without getting the hose out. Since I use Zaino exclusively here is my process (which I did in my garage) assuming the car is not filthy:

1) Mix a small amount of Z-7 and water in a cheap spray bottle.
2) Fill a bucket with warm water.
3) Spray the Z-7 solution onto one panel of the car at a time.
4) Soak a clean micro fiber towel in your bucket of water. Wipe the area you've just sprayed with the towel from your bucket.
5) Before the panel was a chance to dry, give it a light mist of Z-6, and wipe dry with another clean microfiber towel.
6) Rinse your towel from step 4 in the bucket and repeat the above steps to complete the rest of the car.

The results were awesome

Try it and let me know what you think

I've never used Z7 so I can't comment, but my only concern would be if it has the proper lubrication properties to effectively lift the dirt from the paint so that you aren't dragging it across.

Z-7 is Zaino's car war soap which I can tell you from experience has excellent lubricating properties
