Default Bay washing tips

my car is to low to fit on the track at car washes. I want to try using the bay for washing. Anyone have any tips? Do you guys bring your own sponges and soap? My one friend told me he does it brushless. Power washes, soaps its up with the gun then rinses with the wax. Then just dries it with microfibers. I just find it hard to believe that not using a sponge will get all the dirt off.

Wrong section. Try the detailing one. But yeah, I use the bay sometimes and bring my own buckets( 2 bucket system), soap, wash mitt. Never use that brush, it will scratch the crap outta your paint. I just pay for water, maybe 5 bucks. So 2.50 for wash and 2.50 for rinse.
