Try the Mr. Clean system. I bought mine at Wal Mart and it works just like it says. It comes with the soap and filtered spray handle that goes on the hose. I have used it several times on my '55 CHEVY and it really works.

I use the Mr. Clean car wash. It is quick and easy. Then I maintain between washes I use the Harley spray cleaner in a can.
