Everyone laughs at the 2 bucket method - but if you spend 3 days polishing out a Volvo - trust me - you don't want to undo that work by using poor wash technique.

Car looks good.

Never looked up the two bucket method even though lots of folks talk about it. Just a black builders bucket full of soapy (car shampoo) water and a big sponge for me lol.

Car looks good, nice colour when clean.

Agreed, not machined mine now for 4 years because I've been careful with the 2 bucket washing technique and careful product selection. :)
