    Post Help me with my bucket list. Only storage space I have is a 5gal bucket!

    I'm a medical student and I'll be in small apartments or living on the road for the next 2 years for my rotations. Due to VERY limited storage space, I'm trying to assemble a kit for coin operated maintenance washes that will fit into a 5 gallon wash bucket.

    Right now my bucket list is as follows:

    -2 buckets (stacked) with 1 lid so I can pre-fill with suds prior to going to the coin wash and still rinse my mits
    -wash soap
    -wash mitt for wheels and another for the body
    -sonax
    -glass cleaner
    -spray wax
    -waffle weave drying towel
    -APC pre diluted in a spray bottle
    -tire shine (ideally one that can be used on leather too)
    -as many quality microfibers as I can squeeze in there

    I know I'm missing a lot but I'm hoping Ya'll can help! I think products with dual purpose (ie can be used on tires as well as leather) are going to be the ticket to saving space along with heavily concentrated products where a little goes a long way.

    What should I put in my bucket!?

    Optimum Protecant Plus can be used on leather and tires. Perhaps consider a waterless/Rinseless wash that way you can do it in the parking lot instead of having to go to coin ops?

    That's a good idea I hadn't considered. I'll look into that

    Why do you you need an APC for every wash?

    I'd go rinseless with D114. Use it for washing, glass, and some even use it for the interior too.
