Curious who's doing the 2-bucket wash method - if you haven't it's worth a try! :)

Here's the ingredient list:

Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine - 32 oz. $17
The Grit Guard Insert (Red) - Fits 12 inch Diameter Bucket $9
Encore 30448 3.5-Gallon White Industrial Bucket (or get a 5-gallon orange one from Home Depot) :) $6
Meguiar's Microfiber Wash Mitt $5
Meguiar's Supreme Shine Microfiber Cloths (Pack of 3) $8

Your investment of $45 gives you 32 car washes @ ~ $1.40/ea and your car will shine like crazy!

Essentially you're using only a few gallons of water, you can wash your car in a garage if you have snow outside :)
Here's a good autogeek writeup on how to use it Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine: clay lubricant, optimum rinseless wash, no rinse car wash, optimum detailing products

We use it exclusively on all 5 of our cars now, just awesome stuff and you only have to use a few gallons of water - no hose!

I tried ONR last winter and was skeptical, but it truly does work and there were no scratches or swirls. I still prefer my MTM foam cannon and a good old fashion hand wash with soap. I save the ONR for the cold months and when I just want to freshen up a fresh wash (like when it rains 1 day after a full wash).

I have found that 1/2 ounce of ONR in my was bucket with my wash soap when doing a traditional wash helps reduce water spotting.

I also highly recommend the Big Red Sponge over traditional was mitts. It traps the dirt better and keeps it away from the paint.

cool sponge! I need to check it out ;)

yes, this is awesome for days where you don't want to spray tons of water, and can even do this in the garage!
