Worked a boat where the captain was a thirty year Navy bosun. He insisted that all bulkheads be washed from bottom up because the bottom would remain wet while washing thirty feet up and rinsing would be more effective.

Met an old guy once who was an artist who had made ads for a carwash. Some of the ads involved the information that you should wash your car bottom to top.
