Returned from a 361-mile round trip bloodelivery.  
The whitExpedition is covered with road grime.  
With garden hose flushing loose dirt off while I use a soft terrycloth wash cloth, the cloth still misses too many places - grooves, etc.  
Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Visit your favorite local auto parts store (Auto Zone, Advanced Auto Parts, Walmart) they all have tons of stuff for washing your car. This is something you can figure out on your own. Hopefully this thread will die a quick death due to disinterest.

What they have has the same problem. Misses to much. Let it die.

Detailers trick, a shoe brush. It has to be a good one though, not one of those cheap ones with the stiff bristles.
