Brillo Pad, the combination of steel wool and soap cuts through even the most difficult road grime and bugs.

Mostly the nappy wash mitts for really grimy days, otherwise it get a synthetic wool mitts - both are microfiber. I also have dedicated MF nappy mitts for the wheels, and a tire brush. A bunch of different MF towels for drying and polishing. I used to use Meguire's Gold soap in my pressure washer until I got my foam canon... now it is Chemical Guy's honey dew (fun for the kids to shoot the car in foam). The car was top coated with Turtle Wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray last Fall, and I have the matching quick detailer for the driving season.

Oh and I'll dry it with a water blade if I feel lazy.

My kids absolutely love hitting my vehicles with the power washer... I mean, using the foam cannon :cry::ROFLMAO:

We wash their bikes, 4 wheelers, 1/2 of my wife's car... whatever is around just to use the rest of the foam.
(I really only need to wash the front and driver side of her vehicle, she'd never know the difference.)
My truck goes through "2 bottles" but the car uses 3/4 of 1.

I agree with that. If car is real dirty then all that dirt becomes an abrasive. No substitute for soap and water if your car is real dirty.
ditto

I had used a soft mitt for years until I had my last car ceramic coated. They recommended a sponge. Said with all the holes if there is something on your car it would go in the holes rather then dragging it across the paint. Is the best, I don't know but have kept with it

I never use a hose. Always Meguiars detailing spray with micro fibre towels.
I use I towel for midline down where the most dust is. Mine never gets that dirty to break out the buckets. I’ll use a hose and wheel cleaner if the get bad. Haven’t had to do that since I changed to Power Stop pads.
