That's exactly what I've been doing for years! I use a clean/soapy_water_soaked MF mitt on a panel (or two at most), put the now dirty MF mitt in a bucket of dirty mitts. Pull another clean MF mitt out of the soapy water and go to the next panel. I usually go thru 8-10 mitts per car. They are very cheap and there's no reason to spend time cleaning them while washing the vehicle IMHO. Then they all go into the washing machine, simple.
Years ago I explained my method on this forum and I was surprised how many negative comments I got. Most said it was overkill, which is hard to understand given this whole forum is about overkill to about 99.999% of the population.[/QUOTE
I'm with you. the easiest way for me is about 6 microfiber towels. and one bucket of soapy warm water. lay the towel flat then flip it & go over the same spot. the weight of the towel is enough I don't bear down on it. I do this with each panel in the winter time. when the weather is in the 35 to 40 degree range. the soapy water is pretty warm & it doesn't take long to run around the truck. in the summertime I foam cannon the vehicle & then do it the same way. I don't know if it's my imagination but it's a pretty quick process. sometimes I'll even grab a soaked towel & wring out over one of the panels. then I'll put it back in the bucket(because it's still clean) & use a loaded one. I mean I've got enough micro fiber mitts, but the towels are working great for me. don't forget a empty bucket to throw your dirty towels in. I'll rinse them out later while admiring my work.

Rinseless washed the SS using Meguiar’s D114. I have nearly a half gallon of it in the basement so might as well use it before it goes bad. Forgot just how much I like it. Sad that 3M discontinued it. Wheels were cleaned with some of last nights McKee’s SiO2 wash. No LSP, beading still holding up quite well.
[QUOTE=hmardown;1611848]Scott from Dallas paint correction takes it one step further in a video and skipped the buckets used 5-6 micro fiber mitts, wet them down and just washed down after foam gunning the car. Why waste the soap. Said industry just wanted us to buy mor buckets, grit guards, and soap. Wish he woulda told me before I bought all those buckets, grit guards and soap!

I think he may have outsmarted himself, because where the heck are you supposed to toss each mitt once it’s been used? On the ground? Or on the paint you just finished washing? Where do you suppose he puts all those soggy mitts when it comes time to rinse the vehicle? I’d bet my life he doesn’t actually wash cars like that.
There’s a difference between being smart and being too cheap for your own good. Who’s sweatin over a plastic bucket or an ounce of car shampoo?
I still have a rinse bucket when useing multible wash mitts and wash pads. But only to use the grit guard wash board in it to clean the wash mitts and then transfer them into another bucket. Just so they get the little dirt in them out as much as possible and being easier to rinse them out before tossing them in the washing machine. Don't want to have to much of car soap in them when they are in the washing machine as it can be a lot of foam in it LOL.
Nothing special,just a used Trax but it wasn't too bad,I snapped a quick pic because I like the color
Edit;oops,looks like my phone was upside down,lop
Finally found some time after work to take the EcoBoost Fusion to the coin op to give it a good spray to get the last weeks of road salt off. Then a quick wash with N914. Paint was still glossy from the Beadmaker that I applied last month, but the slickness was pretty much gone. Topped with some D156 and dressed the tires with some Eco Touch tire shine (remember that?).
