Once every 1-2 weeks I wash the Accord in my sig. The usual procedure is the use the two bucket method with Meguiars Wash/Wax shampoo, then rinse, then dry with microfiber. This process with a follow up of spray wax takes about an hour. Today I decided to try something different...a "touchless" wash. I mixed up the Meguiars Ultimate Wash/Wax in an old Windex bottle, sprayed down the car then allowed the water to sheet off. Then I sprayed down the car with the mixture, allowed it to dwell for about 5 minutes, then sprayed it off. Again sheet-ed the water off with the garden hose then blow dried it with our electric leaf blower. Here are the results...

It even removed a bit of brake dust

Cleaned up some of the grime on the windows also

Overall it did a good job of getting all the surface fall out off the paint. Oh, and it took about 15-20 minutes from start to finish.
 
Did you rinse the car first, or just spray on the soap?

Dilute the wash at all, or did it spray fine from the bottle?

Yes, rinsed first with garden hose...and yes is was diluted with water, used very little car wash shampoo.
 
Nice method for light dirt/dust I think.

However, OP, you might want to clarify that the car was pretty clean to begin with, and washed less than a week ago, as you stated in the other thread here:

I don't think it would've worked this well if it wasn't kinda clean to begin with.

Oh, absolutely. Its a great method for an in between wash. Better than rubbing the paint with that water less wash stuff.
