Let me get this strait, in the two bucket method you use one bucket with soap and one with rinse water. You spray car down with hose then dunk mitt/sponge or whatever you use and clean the panel. Once you do clean the little area, you dunk the dirty mitt in the rinse bucket (not all the way down as to not puck up more dirt). You then dunk the clean rinsed off mitt into the soap bucket and repeat. Correct? Does this not mean the first bucket is to simply hold clean soapy water which you wash the car with?
My method is spray the whole car with pressure washer. fill 2 gallon bucket with rinse water. Foam gun my car on 1 side, then use my mitt to wash the car's 1 side with intermittent rinsing of the mitt as I wash the car. Once the car is washed, I pressure wash the rest of the dirt, soap and junk off the one side I just cleaned and along with the rest of my car. I like to keep my car wet at all times until time to dry. Then I move to another side of the car. I repeat the process and when I spray off the junk again, I re-rinse the whole car. I repeat the process 4x. Once for each side.
Can you explain why I would need the first bucket? I guess I'm missing some point and don't know it. Or maybe I'm not. I know how to clean my hands really well as I wash my hands over 50x in my 12 hr shift each night I work.
In case I never said it before, Thanks for the DIY vid on polishing the car. It was good brain food (the standing on car dance was cool). I polished my car for the first time a few months back with instructions from your video.
