What is it?
The Two bucket car washing method is a great way to get your car clean without having to go to a professional. This method involves two 3 ½ or 5-gallon buckets, one for soapy water and one for rinse water. You will also need a sponge or wash mitt. For best results focus on splitting the car into sections and if at all possible make sure the surface is not in direct sunlight or over 80° F.
The two-bucket car washing method is the best way to wash your car because...
1. It is the most effective way to remove dirt and grime from your car.
2. It prevents scratches and swirl marks.
3. It saves water.
Directions
To start, wet your sponge or wash mitt in the soapy water bucket. Wash your car's surface with soapy water, starting from the top and working your way down. Be sure to use a crosshatching pattern when scrubbing the surface to ensure you do not leave any streaks. Also, make sure to rinse your sponge or wash mitt in the soapy water bucket regularly.
When you are finished washing the car, rinse it with clean water from the hose or a bucket of clean water. Start from the top and work your way down.
Dry your car with a clean microfiber drying towel or let it air dry.
