I think he was referring to not buying the towels when he walked by them.
My understanding, for a wash that you don't have to dry, you would want reverse osmosis with a large tank at your wash station.

I have had good luck with that method, it seems to work as well as a chamois and much easer to clean. It breaks the surface tension of the water droplets and leaves the surface slightly damp and I don't get water spots. I was going to ask him if he knew how to tune a 3 cylinder 2 cycle Saab. You set the timing by the center cylinder. When I had British cars I could pull both side draft SU's rebuild them, reinstall both, tune and synchronize them and drink a beer in an hour. The one thing about early British sports cars, the had two fuses, one for the left side and one for the right. The fuse block had two extra holes for two spares. Fun cas

To wash ours I use a "Foam Canon", it hooks on the end of my power washer head and puts a layer of soap foam over the car, I use Maguire soap, then a I use the power washer with a spread nozzle to spray the cars off. It works well. There are some YouTube videos of it in use. Neat gadget. My power washer is electric.
My neighbor just got one of those foam cannons. He is always trying the latest stuff. He likes it.
Mine will be getting washed tomorrow, as I'm out & about in the 'predicted' rains.

Part B: Do I wish I had a system like that at home. That's why I am using an inline RV water filter on my hose to see if I get "cleaner" water to rinse off the car.
