HOW TO WASH AWAY WATER BLUES

Sorry to hear that our Virginia Beach friends are short of water and can't wash their cars with a hose, but using a bucket is not all that bad.

Adding an ounce of fabric softener to each bucket of rinse water will make the soap disappear, the water bead up and the car shine, shine, shine.
