TWO Buckets, this is why!

JohnL135I · 02-21-2009, 10:37 PM

This is a picture of my buckets after I washed my X5. The X5 had not been washed in over two weeks and had been driven in the rain. It was very dirty.

At the end of my wash I was almost out of water in my soap bucket. Can you guess which bucket was the rinse bucket?

The grit guard in both buckets is a must.

Two buckets is definitely a necessity.
I have a grey one for the rinse (grey water) and a white one for the clean soapy water.
I actually dump and refill my grey bucket part way through so I'm not rinsing my wash mitt in that filth.

What carwash solution do you use?
