    I haven’t used a bucket in 10 plus years but I have access to a hose year round.
    Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

    I know you don't want to hear this now (and I also use 3.5 gal buckets for everything) but Autofiber has a really nice translucent one that's marked in gallons and reasonably priced, and Grit Guard fits. I also see they have that crazy grit guard-y thing I saw in EC Detail's Idrosave video, it's called the Mitt Slide, apparently from Korea, a little more pricey than a Grit Guard/Washboard combo.

    Try $70 over here, everything Yeti is really expensive. I have a couple of Rambler drink bottles that are good though, if you put ice in your drink there will still be ice at the end of the day.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Yesterday I took the fam to the mountains for some snow tubing. I encountered that mystical white substance many of you talk about called snow. I rather enjoy taking a filthy car and transforming it into a thing of beauty so I drove through puddles, mud, snow, slush, you name it just to get my car filthy so that I could come home today and go to town. Lo and behold, nothing stuck to the sides of my car and only a little brine collected on the front and rear of my car. I still got in a good wash but it wasn’t the satisfying transformation I was hoping for. Damn ceramic coating struck again.

    My last customer also came back for the maintenance wash tutorial and now I can rest easy tonight knowing that he has the supplies and knowledge to maintain his coating. I’m continuing my quest to have the best customer service this side of the Mason Dixon.

    Nothing wrong with that, you need to get an off-roader and really have some fun.
