Car Wash: 2 Bucket Method.

[DJOrtiz]

Who is as anal as me and does AT LEAST the 2 bucket hand wash method?

As far back as i can remember, i have always tried taking extra care by handwashing my vehicles as to not produce swirls. (all i've owned is black cars)

one bucket is soap/water solution and the other bucket with grate and pure water for my mit (lambs wool) rinsing.

anybody else?

3-seperate for the wheels

i usually dump or re-use the water bucket that at the end of the car wash is full of soap suds for wheel washing....

Since I use such an LSP friendly shampoo-I like a little more on the wheels-even though she gets washed very often

2 buckets, 2 grit guards, 3 or 4 wash mits. One for the top half of the car, one for the bottom half, one for the wheels and one for my engine. Except for the winter when it goes to the car wash for a $2 rinse off only once a week.

2 buckets, 2 mitts, 2 grit guards, soft nylon brushes, handfuls of microfiber towels.

Screw it. I use 200 buckets now and rinse it in a lake from a melting polar ice cap!


So this begs the question. What products do you use

Ha... You just rinse it in a lake?? Weak... I wash mine with bottles of Voss and Cor soap ($125 a bottle)... Then I dry it with an actual lamb... Not the mitt... The whole lamb... 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!
