No problem Wayne, w/o being a "search police" I'll let you know how to use it right here, right now, no problem.
First off you referred to spraying it onto the surface, well you don't do that but some people make up a "pre-soak" for cars that are REAL dirty, so that helps out for sure, great idea in the winter when you've got salt and grit on the car, even after hitting the quarter wash first, another good idea to do first if the dirt is really, really caked on. Ok, onto the process:
What you'll need:
-2 buckets (one w/measurements on the side)
-2 grit guards
-1 wash media (mf sponge or Aqua sponge (my choice)
-the actual rinseless wash product
-large drying towel or pair of drying towels
-1 designated wash media for the tires/wheels (I use a mf glove for this, from Autozone)
-1 designated old mf towel to dry tires/wheels
-measuring cup
The process:
Take your buckets out, place a grit guard into each one and grab your wash media and place it into the bucket w/ measurements on it, this will be your designated wash solution bucket as you need to fill it to 2 gallons exactly. Take your rinseless wash and pour out 1 oz into the measurement cup and then pour into the bucket and fill with 2 gallons of water. Fill the rinse bucket with about 2 gallons, or more and that's all you need there, now your ready to wash.
Just like any other wash, start with the top of the car and work your way down. Depending upon how dirty your car is, you'll know what I mean, dunk your wash media into the cleaning solution bucket and wring out excess product based on how much you think you need depending upon how dirty the car is (after time you'll get the hang of that, trust me) Its best to do one section at a time, I.e. the entire roof and then dry it off after going over the entire area, ensuring you cover the entire area. Once you do this go onto the windshield, hood, etc. After each panel, dunk your wash media into the rinse bucket once or twice, depends on how dirty your car is, more if you feel more comfortable but wring and dunk a couple times before going back into the cleaning solution, very important!
Once your done with the entire car you should have extra cleaning solution left over, this will be used to do the jams, tires and wheels, in that order. The mf glove is very handy here as you can get all around the jams, then the wheels, wheel barrels (if the style permits) and finishing with the tires and wheelwells, even engine bay if you'd like, its all good for that.
The entire process takes me about 45 mins on my CRZ but that's a smaller car but this includes tires/wheels/wheelwells too, its very efficient and leaves your car clean and shiny! Your rinse bucket water should be dark if not black, this is what came off of your car!
That's a pretty good overall way to do the rinseless wash, if you've got any more questions please feel free to ask away, myself or someone else will surely answer your queston and hopefully they don't tell you to search either!
