I always wash with a mitt. Some believe that you can foam and then rinse. I like to foam, rinse, soap with mitt and two buckets (one for rinse, other for soapy water), final rinse. Rinse is with 40 nozzle.

I guess if the car isn't so dirty, you can foam and then spray. I would still do the above and just not rinse (go straight to soaping with mitt and bucket) if I wanted to save time.
Yes, the det tank and the soap tip on the wand. I hear ya on mitt, and when I have the time or if it's really needed, i'll use one too. Thanks for all the insight!
