Car Wash: 2 Bucket Method. - Page 2

^^^LOL. I use meguiars gold class soap, and then some Eagle 1 spray and dry, then some Chemical Guys P40 quick detailed if needed. I need to get myself a buffer to do the rest, but I've waxed it by hand with meguiars tech wax 2.0. Oh and I haven't clay barred it yet either. Definitely on my list when I have a spare day to devote to the process.

Which is clearly better... If it needs waxed I hand scrape beeswax right from the source and apply directly buffing out with another series of lambs... Can't believe you just use glacier water... Lambs is where its at bob... Lambs!

I can't. It appears I have a restraining order on me. Not allowed within 1000' of Lambs-goat's or pretty much any farm animal. Hmm what gives

I think its the Velcro gloves you own to hold them still... People get the wrong idea all the time over that. Hehe.

Forget the buckets. I use the Mr. Clean system with my hose. Microfiber washing anything with paint. Terry cloth for the rims. A Rubbermaid squeegee to take the "spot free" rinse off the painted surfaces... then microfiber weave towel to dry. During winter, it's touchless Ultra Wash for me whenever needed... and it's not going to rain or snow again for several days.

So this begs the question. What products do you use

I like trying different products but mainly use Farecla G3 range. A buddy introduced me to Ultrafina SE (SE that stands for swirl eliminator), have been amazed with the outcome, it has always been my favourite and not forgetting Harly wax no.1 yellow.

Here a link to Ultrafina SE & some good videos

I use the 2 bucket method as well. Most of my products are from Adams. Love their products. They have a waterless car wash solution and detail spray for those between washing cleaning as well. I use the Americana Wax by them ($70 for 10oz). Super easy on and off. Also use a ton of micro fiber towels!!
