Hello,

I just bought a 20V Worx Hydroshot battery washer for doing the cars (we've no outside water or electrical supply). The full kit was in a sale and it comes with a soap dispenser bottle.

Can anyone recommend what soap to use in the bottle? Just normal car soap? Snow foam? Any idea how much to dilute it by?

Maybe I'm over-thinking it...

Cheers,

ND

you may be better off buying a 10ltr pump sprayer and applying your chosen prewash that way, then rinse, then use your chosen car shampoo to wash, then rinse with your new toy

I use Autoglym Polar blast. Half filling the soap bottle will do the whole car

Thanks - I was considering the Polar Blast but didn't want to spent £17 on something that wouldn't work. Do you half-full the bottle with the soap neat, or do you dilute it?

I assume you spray it onto a dry car, leave for five minutes and then rinse off?

I used the soap neat. Leave on for 10 minutes then wash the car
It didn't cost me £17 😉
