Yeah DONT use the brush.
If you can take a micro fiber mitt and a sealed bucket of quality wash solution (you can buy buckets with lids from the hardware shop)
The soap at these wash's usually has a high PH so will strip all your wax off.
You can use their high pressure spray to rinse then wash with your mitt (2 bucket method!!) then use it again to rinse your soap off.
I would advise against using the high pressure soap spray then rinse then chamois as you will be dragging dirt over your car and causing marring and swirls
I don't want to get you into trouble Neilbut remember how blue your soap suds were when you cleaned your car that friday night? Hehehe...
Quick question Dan:
If you wash your car nicely once and then spend 3 or 4 bucks at the carwash each week just spraying off the excess instead of giving it a proper wash, would it be best to wash it, rinse it then rinse purified water over the car and leave it to dry without chamois-ing it? Or should you chamois the car dry (hence using a 2-bucket washing method anyway)?

If your using purified water then you wont get water spots so should be ok. I still think its best to wash properly and apply a quality wax every 2 to 6 weeks (depending on the wax) or if your not into waxing/dont have time seal the paint with something like Z2 Pro which should las a year then you can just Quick detail the car with Z8 to give it some extra gloss and protection when you wash it
there are no water restrictions in regards to washing your car.
id never go to any sort of car wash

Yeah mate that sounds about right...I learnt the hard way with the brush. You'd have never seen a white car with such noticeable swirls
And on that note, I don't have much paint left on my car! I'm seeing blue on my bonnet creases from where there's hardly any paint.Respray soon...
