The water filter that comes with the "Mr.Clean " kit works fine, but you need to buy the whole kit, which isn't necessary, and it's a small filter that doesn't last long. Is there a filter sold by itself for this purpose? The leaf blower is a great idea. I'll be using that . Not as much fun as going down the road at ???MPH, but probably works good.

I went to home depot and picked up an inline water filter for like 25 bucks beware they are low flow but work great..

Perfect !! I'll have a look there. I knew they'd be low flow like the Mr.Clean one. That just shows the filter's a good one . Thanks.

I love detailing vehicles. ive loved doing it since i was young.....well...im still young haha (just turned 23) but the main thing i like to do before i even start washing the car is

i take the time to rinse the entire car down and under the wheel wells getting all the lose dirt and grit off. then i do my tires and wheels/wheel wells. and the lower part of the car where dirt tends so get. i usually spray my exhaust tips with some cleaner. and scrub those. and i scrub the front getting off all the bugs and such......THEN i wash the car. i use 1 cloth for the wheels and and brush on the tires and wheel wells. and another cloth for the lower part of the body and the front of the car. after washing dry it down with a chamois and thats a wrap. ive never had a problem doing it like this..although im one of those people that when i start cleaning i dont stop haha. but thats not such a bad thing i dont think. hope this helps some of you out
