Two Bucket System.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Used this today for the first time when detailing the car for the Borders Run.:D :D :D

Holy ****!:eek: :eek: The clean water bucket ended up full of grit and all sorts of cr@p in the bottom of it. Will never go back to just one bucket.;)

I'm a changed man.:cool:

A.:D

I don't think he has changed THAT much...:eek: :rolleyes: ;) :)

never used the 2 bucket method...... yet :cool:

Whenever i wash my car :rolleyes: all the grit goes to the bottom of my one bucket method, i guess the difference is you can see it in the "clean" bucket :D

[Mini Laura]

Despite the iminent threat of rain am washing my mini today so will try the two bucket method as i am a complete obsessive and Halfords best customer! Good tip!:D

I use a foam lance & a bucket with a grit guard. I dont no why i bother as the mcs is goingin mid sept. I just cant look @ it dirty.

I always use the 2 bucket method and thats after I have given the car a decent hose down either with the jet wash or with a fast stream of water to get the loose dirt off.
I would hate to cause swirls on the car with dirty water.

If you think that's good you should try the 3 bucket method!

[X30YES]

Seems that a grit guard is a must when and if you use the 2 bucket (http://www.autogeek.net/gg1010.html) method

[Blueboy]

Am a bit of a detailing freak, like a clean bike and car, always use the two bucket method its amazing the amount of crap in the bucket that you find when cleaning the car. I use www.detailingworld.com quite a lot, good for info and tips on keeping your pride and joy clean.

This is a pretty cool example of the two bucket method.

Jet wash, foam lance, jet wash, foam again and then two bucket wash with lambswool mit while re foaming each area as i go around.

Anything to avoid inflicting swirls into paintwork.:)

My goodness your underwear must be in some state if thats what you use on them:D

[japper]

I get out enough:) It only takes me a couple of hours each weekend to do the above. Every 4 months it goes into Polished Bliss for the protection detail:D

It amazes me how some people 'look after' their cars, especially black ones. If you don't know how to wash a car properly, you'd be better staying clear of dark colours.

Go on Big Man :D a dropped sponge acts just like one of those mesh fibre cloths to get rid of bug splat :p :rolleyes: :)

I find the Ajax powder better for bug splats, along with a brillo pad. Works well.
