What is the 2 bucket method of car washing?

One bucket is for soap and water to wash, the other is filled with clean water to rinse the mitt in. This avoids rinsing your mitt in dirty water. Do a search for "2 bucket method" and you should get more detail.

perfect answer ... one for wash, other for rinsing. Change rinse bucket at 1/2 point to keep water clean.

Grit guards in both I assume?

I use two grit guards in the mitt rinse bucket :)

One in each here, but probably more important in the rinse bucket. I rake my ShMitt over the grit guard to help release dirt in the rinse bucket. Rarely is there any dirt that settles in the soap bucket.

I think I'm going to try the follow the foam gun with Ulti-Mit method this weekend since I'm running low on PBSSS. I may order a Wolfgang bucket with grit guard & casters though.

I use my rinse bucket with a grit guard, not in the soap bucket. And after each panel I wash, I spray out my ShMITT with my hose.
