Use 2 buckets. One for the clean soap water, one for the dirty water.

It really depends on your resources though. For some, the one bucket ONR method is best. For others, a foam gun with mitts and the two bucket method is best. |

Never go through a machine car wash and never let the dealer "Wash" your car! theyll leave a ton of swirl marks, you have to tell them not to do it. :p

Just remember a little common sense goes a long way. You have a large investment in your ride. Don't scrimp when purchasing products to clean and maintain it.

Don't lean on the car. Belt buckle or jean rivets will make scratches.

Take it to a touchless carwash. You'll be fine!

It's best if you use sand paper to wash the car, followed by drying it with steel wool.
I seriously hope nobody took this post serious.

I better be careful in case someone decides to wash their car with sand paper and dry it with steel wool and tries to blame it on me. lol
