I'm not overly anal about my paint, but I never use those scrub mops. I get the best results at the self wash by circling the vehicle twice with the high pressure soap, then switching straight to high pressure wax, and that's it. Rinse with the wax and drive away. Usually costs me about $7 to wash my truck. It's so nice to use a CC at the carwash, too. You're not rushing to finish the job before the time runs out. Just gotta remember to hit that stop button.
