Careful Car Washing. - The 2 Bucket Method.

After a trip recently along some very wet and muddy metal roads my work ute was left in a state showing more mud than paintwork. It was always going to be a bit of a mission to clean up again but it got me thinking about the best techniques for washing cars without causing extra damage to the paintwork.
A lot of the swirls and scratches that you see in paintwork are actually caused when the cars are being washed. They severely dull the paint finish and can take quite an effort to properly correct.

With this in mind we'd like to help our car loving customers with their ongoing paint protection by providing a quick run down of the very popular 2 Bucket method.

Basically it's one shampoo bucket and one rinse bucket, the rinse bucket allows your wash mitt (or car wash brush) to release all the grit and grime before picking up the next load of shampoo - Greatly reducing the risk of adding swirls and helping ensure a longer lasting protective shine.
I'll let one of the experts explain it in more detail below and see if I can source a few of the 'Grit-Guards' that he shows us.
