If you are using 2 buckets for the car, then you're going to use 8 buckets for the wheels. It's just the most pointless thing to use to 2 buckets. Just think about why you need 2 buckets. Then realise that if you respect that process for the wheels you're going to need 8 of them which is beyond pathetic and absurd... I'm absolutely not willing to harm you or so, and also not telling that your result as a detailer sucks, but there's legit no point using more than one bucket to wash the body parts and eventually rinse it and then start again with the wheels. I never had issues doing this and it's been many years now
Do understand your content man. However, its not 2 bucket. Though its a "2 bucket method" as per only or may be limited to the method only but not the literal meaning. Somehoww its misleading. We cannot get the meaning instantly.
As a former car detailer at Toyota, sure you can put foam first that breaks down the dirt but you have to rinse the car first so you aren't rubbing any dirt or debris on the paint when you use a cloth because it doesn't matter how much pressure you use you will potentially damage your paint
That and what's the point of that huge expensive sponge? They're not reusable no matter what. One and a half car max is what I found to be ideal (but I worked with particularly dirty "brand new" cars that were in for polishing and multi-year ceramic coating+nanocoating). I feel like so many people want to 'do it themselves' nowadays with everything about cars, not realising they're scratching the paint and often doing irreversible damage, though this is pretty much impossible when washing, as anything can be polished away and coated over.... But more relevant with DIY polishing at home, rubbing, and such
Then you rinse the snow foam off before moving to the contact wash. One of the reasons to use a snow foam is that it adds additional lubrication to the shampoo. Plus, the idea behind foam is that it takes that loose, abrasive surface dirt with it as it slides down.
Ahh yes. Much easier than the 7 bucket, pressure washer, hang glider method. Also helps if you live in clone home asphalt-ville where all you get is a little road grime.
I really don't get the sponge, those things are nearly single use, one and a half car max, after that it's full of particles that'll damage the paint. So you're better off getting a standard sponge
I use a separate bucket for each panel and a bucket for each window and a separate hose for each tyre, it’s been 3 weeks I’m still here but the car looks like a diamond
You'll know there's no need what so ever if your pre wash is done properly there should be nothing on the vehicle to scratch the paint when it comes to contact
Great video man! I’ve detailed just under 1000 vehicles are pressure wash them first to remove all the crud then foam the car. Also it’s recommended to wipe the car in the direction the wind flows over the car if it was moving so it is easier to buff out scratches. Especially on a darker colored car in the sun. Cheers!!
Perfect steps, I would also recommend to add a pre wash: 1. Soap it as in the video 2. Let it rest for a minute or so 3. Rinse it 4 Start all over again following his steps That would avoid any big dirt contaminants getting collected into your glove, reducing the potential damaged of your paint.
I will never understand why some people don’t do a pre-wash rinse to get as much of the dirt and dust off as possible. It keeps your wash mitt cleaner and prevents scratches
@problemchild1976 no, foam first.. to emulsify the dirt, rinse, then foam again... I do rinseless washes now much easier, and less water in the door jams, dryer feet etc
@@jh.f30 That makes sense too, but some people just foam it up and start scrubbing away. Your way also uses up more soap, depending on what you use that could be pretty expensive
@@troybaker2132 I do rinseless washes now, fill a 2 gallon bucket with 1 oz or so of rinseless wash, fill a 32 oz spray bottle with the solution to pre spray the vehicle, wash it normally with a wash mitt 1-2 panels at a time, then dry it with a drying aid like a quick detailer or ceramic wax etc.. makes my life way easier
I will chime in on this- first, I absolutely agree that if you can find shade, do it- it makes it easier. BUT, if you are using a PH neutral soap that dries in the sun, water will reactivate it without spots, as long as you dry as you rinse and dont let the rinse water dry on the panel (DI or mineral free water of course are excluded)

That mitt is a scratch maker no matter what precautions you implement. I detailed for West Chevrolet in Alcoa Tennessee at 16, and eventually ran the detail department for 15 years. Mitts are fine for light colors. But for black, blue, and maroon colors???? Micro fiber. A new one for each panel. Plus,..... always pressure wash your fender wells and rocker panels with a deluted degreaser first. This will remove most of the abrasive material. And one thing I learned about washing black???? Never wash it in the sun. You clear coat will soften believe it or not. Which,.....makes it prone to spiderweb scratch's. Just some advice from an old retired detailer. Nice car by the way.

I do not wash my car during the summer so it has a nice protective layer for the following winter salt. Then the spring rain washes my car and I save hours and money. Never had a problem with rust out.
It is true. You really do not need to wash your car. There is rain for that. Washing a car is more of an obsession but the work place really does not notice the car you drive and will not pay you more because of it. Also, a reflective clear coat is annoying when the sun reflects into your eyes. A good layer of dirt or gutter paint could fix that problem. My motorcycle with all the chrome was so annoying I had to wrap it all up with handle bar pads made for bicycles.
not only in cleaning brushes, but in painting as well (especially watercolours) when u need to change ur colours, having 2 watercups is a more effective way to paint so u dont have to change ur water so often
My brother had a whole set up for washing and cleaning his car, he was a mechanic and took pride in cleaning his car once the weather allowed him to. I remember the “classes” he gave me in between spraying me with the pressure washer. Unfortunately he isn’t around any more but these videos remind me of him
@@Jordaneal He never did pre rinse, he stated he pre rinsed it with foam soap. But all he did was apply foam and did not give his car a proper pre wash to eliminate most of the debri from the surface of the car. Washing method gone wrong.
@@goose6003 If you wash you car in direct sunlight you get water marks, they look like round circle marks where the sun has dried the water drops. These water marks are extremely hard to rid off!!
"My brother taught me how to wash a car with just two buckets..." "...and a magic sponge and wash mitts and a pressure washer and a snow foam gun and twelve thousand dollars of professional washing equipment"
The word "just" was NEVER used. This method is called the two bucket method, as opposed to one bucket. When did he EVER say that you can wash a car with nothing but a bucket?
Good Info... The only thing I would add is ... To prevent a "crosshatch" pattern, I would only wipe the wash mitt in a front to back or a back to front straight line motion, instead of side to side shown. Just picture the air flow over your car and the most likely direction of it's scratches.
Gentlemen you should rinse the car first with plain water to wash of sand, dust and soil then apply foam this will avoid scratches by removing maximum granules before wiping it with cloth.
Exactly. Initial rinse. Foam cannon. Let foam do it's thing and drop off. Second rinse. Then two glove method. Third rinse. Dry. Then protection of your choice.
That takes to long. As a car painter, the correct way is simple. wet the car. Put the soap on the car with a car sponge. Spray water on the car making sure to remove all the soap
Never rinse with a pressure washer, it’s going to sand blast all the debris and cause scratching. First spray some ONR solution with a pump spray over the car to soften up any dirt, sand, etc. then foam blast it. Let it sit for minute the wipe from top to bottom. Panel by panel
Except it was foamed and rinsed, but edited out. You can see it if you look closely. Edited it out to fit time limit and focus on the 2 bucket technique
He's claiming he rinsed it and edited it 😄😄😄. Brother, the next slide when you was washing the car with the mitt.. there was soap all way down the bottom, on the side skirts. So you're saying you have been all the way to the bottom with the mitt, then back up to the roof and boot ? Common 😄😄😄 learn to safely wash a car.
Also dont wash in the sun or on a hot day. Clean as much off with just a hose with high volume/low pressure. The type of soap is super important. And when washing, use a chamois to absorb the water with a dual roller to hand-wring it through.
in Germany we just go to a self service washing station, they're around every corner and we clean the car for about 2€. tbh cheaper than getting all the equipment yourself, unless you already have it
just below giving my family a house to call home, motivation #2 to working my butt off to buy my first house was to have a driveway with a water spigot to meticulously wash my cars. I love the idea of mounting the hose reel and pressure washer in the garage! I can set it up opposite of my air compressor and air hose reel. Got sick and tired of the air pump at every gas station within a few miles always out of service
@@chrislim7976 you dont want your neighbourhood being polluted by toxic chemicals washed of your car and from car shampoo. Additionally you wash oils, fuels and lubes from your car, right into soil. in US people seem not to care at all about world and nature they are leaving in

@@arianschmid7435 Ok. So businesses like car washes and who knows what are NOT putting chemicals down the sewers? I'm just wondering why they would target private homes.
Ik there’s a lot of comments about the tools used and just general distaste and sarcasm but I hope this helps regular people who just wanna do it the right way. The little things like washing from the top down, don’t use a hard brush on the actual car, only the tires (and rims if their not painted and you care more about actually getting it clean rather than scraping the metal), and after washing the windows, immediately rinse them and dry them first so you don’t get water streaks and spots. I’m super thankful I had my father in my life to teach me the right way to wash my car and do other things, and I hope videos like this can help people who aren’t as fortunate to have that role model and adult father figure in their life to teach them the right way to do even simple things.
My dad owns a detailing business and it’s always better to use the 10 rag method have one bucket filled with soap and water and put 10 microfiber towels in it. Use one towel per section of the car that is to guarantee you don’t get any scratches.
that's a shitty way of doing it. we used the same sponge for the entire car and don't even replace the sponges between cars. i worked for a professional detailer. you ain't scratching the car if you actually wash it properly. we already had tons of wash clothes to wash in the washer every week no use in using 50x as many
A little tip after using the foam cannon let it sit for 5 to 10min after which rinse it with the pressure washer/hose then wash by hands. If done without rinsing all the dirt and contaminates that were on the car you can now scratch because you didi not rinse it. Great video 👍
Rinse the car off with the pressure, washer or high pressure water hose first to get as much dust and dirt off as you can, that’s what really scratches it.
This is sarcasm right? The internet has broke me lol. I just wanna warn the average person that if you go out and grab your pressure washer that you use to clean your deck you could damage your paint over time. Too much pressure at the wrong angle could cause you to embed the grit and possibly leave micro scratches
@@-pyrosef- Yah that’s why you don’t go point blank right up to it like a goof, you step back and spray at a reasonable distance and the guy in the video deff put micro scratches on his car not doing what Mathew said first, I own a pressure washer and never put scratches on my cars
Let me casually build a warehouse real quick just so I can wash my car in shade. You can wash a car in sunlight, it's only bad to do if you're moving slow and letting soaps sit on the car too long.
Just don't let the soap dry on it. I occasionally spray soapy sections with a mist just to keep it wet if I'm washing in the sun. You don't need a warehouse, just park under the shade from a tree.
This is the most convenient pressure washer setup I have seen. Apart from the pressure washer and washer gun , what extension hose setup are you using ? Would be great if you provide a link
"The grit guard allows the grit to fall to the bottom of the bucket." Technically, grit will fall to the bottom whether or not you have a guard in place. What the guard does is prevent your mitt from picking the grit back up after it has fallen down there.
PSA: the car was foamed initially, and then rinsed down prior to being foamed again. This was edited out to focus on the two bucket technique. The cars paint was cool after being removed from the garage. I also have a water filter and drying aid that prevents water spots. Obviously wash in the shade if you can, however I need good lighting for videos and have no shade.
@@justinpatalsky1 that’s because he recorded him putting on the first layer of foam, then turned off the camera before rinsing off the first layer and putting on the second layer.

I just wait till it rains, I live in the desert so I wait for awhile.
I use dawn dish soap and its worked for decades
Wait till left dirt starts coating the car
1. Hose car from to down to bottom to wash off gritt that would scratch your car. 2. Shampoo car with dish washing liquid in water. 3. Wash and dry car. That's all my 12 year merc still look like just rolled off show room. My recommendation.
I don't like BMW or its drivers but I respect this guy for washing his car with care, bravo.
He forgot to tell you to not wash and dry under the direct sun
I do not wash my car during the summer so it has a nice protective layer for the following winter salt. Then the spring rain washes my car and I save hours and money. Never had a problem with rust out.
I hope this is a joke
@@M1szS 😂😂😂 I actually believed him.
It is true. You really do not need to wash your car. There is rain for that. Washing a car is more of an obsession but the work place really does not notice the car you drive and will not pay you more because of it. Also, a reflective clear coat is annoying when the sun reflects into your eyes. A good layer of dirt or gutter paint could fix that problem. My motorcycle with all the chrome was so annoying I had to wrap it all up with handle bar pads made for bicycles.
@@jstewart627 i cant take this srsly
@@justarandomonlineperson8094 well you're terminally online without a vehicle of your own so we won't lose sleep with what you think.
That eley hose reel is EVERYTHING
I still rinse off the dust and debris odd the car with a pressure washer first than foam and 2 buckets. On a black car, I recommend it
Absolutely correct on that note I also learned that same way there's certain ways to do everything in life in general pay attention please
oh i apply a similar concept when cleaning my paint brushes. awesome to know its a classic in cleaning other things too
not only in cleaning brushes, but in painting as well (especially watercolours) when u need to change ur colours, having 2 watercups is a more effective way to paint so u dont have to change ur water so often
My brother had a whole set up for washing and cleaning his car, he was a mechanic and took pride in cleaning his car once the weather allowed him to. I remember the “classes” he gave me in between spraying me with the pressure washer. Unfortunately he isn’t around any more but these videos remind me of him
Reminds me of my brother too.. Rest In Peace to our Angels ❤
Bro taller than a car
Dude was cleaning a shining car
Haven't washed my 91 Jeep YJ since 1996, except for the windshield.
I like it this way.
This way, you can pick-up each piece and panel as it falls off and take it home.
The inside too huh?
“I like it this way” 😂😂😂
Gross
the name fits
Helpful video, I like it!
New power wash simulator character unlocked
Scratch mode engaged
Why? Does the two bucket method cause scratches?
@@jamesb8619 Its becauses he did a touch wash before rinsing off the car.. So, scratch mode enabled.
He pinned a comment saying he did rinse it
@@Jordaneal He never did pre rinse, he stated he pre rinsed it with foam soap. But all he did was apply foam and did not give his car a proper pre wash to eliminate most of the debri from the surface of the car. Washing method gone wrong.
I thought he was gonna make an infinite water source for a moment 😂
your brother ask you to bring two bottle of beer not bucket.. still a car washer for life
"My brother taught me the correct way for a two bucket wash."
"Also I'm going to use my pressure washer for this job.
😂😂😂😂
Forgot one small detail... NEVER wash your car in direct sunlight.
I'm a dumbass please enlighten me
@@goose6003 If you wash you car in direct sunlight you get water marks, they look like round circle marks where the sun has dried the water drops. These water marks are extremely hard to rid off!!
@@wheezy7655 but i think he washes it in the morning so the sun is not hot your words are correct if he washes it on the afternoon or after
@@wheezy7655 That's what a shammy is for.
Beat me to it.And I don't use a bucket.I rinse my brush after every section I wash.Then add more wash n wax.
1. Use microfiber towels and instead of rinsing just use a clean one.
2. Wash car in the shade, especially if it's black.
"Two bucket method "
PROCEDDS TO OPEN A CAR WASH
Everyone needs a brother like that ❤
True
Everyone needs a little brother like that. One that's willing to learn, how to wash my car.
"My brother taught me how to wash a car with just two buckets..."
"...and a magic sponge and wash mitts and a pressure washer and a snow foam gun and twelve thousand dollars of professional washing equipment"
The word "just" was NEVER used. This method is called the two bucket method, as opposed to one bucket. When did he EVER say that you can wash a car with nothing but a bucket?
@@maskedmarvel"NEVER!" "EVER!"
You sound so angry.
Are you okay buddy?
Want me to explain the joke to you?
@@undertheneonlights It's for emphasis dummy. Again, the joke doesn't work when that's not what he said or implyed
Good Info... The only thing I would add is ... To prevent a "crosshatch" pattern, I would only wipe the wash mitt in a front to back or a back to front straight line motion, instead of side to side shown. Just picture the air flow over your car and the most likely direction of it's scratches.
Gentlemen you should rinse the car first with plain water to wash of sand, dust and soil then apply foam this will avoid scratches by removing maximum granules before wiping it with cloth.
Exactly. Initial rinse. Foam cannon. Let foam do it's thing and drop off. Second rinse. Then two glove method. Third rinse. Dry. Then protection of your choice.
That takes to long. As a car painter, the correct way is simple. wet the car. Put the soap on the car with a car sponge. Spray water on the car making sure to remove all the soap
Never rinse with a pressure washer, it’s going to sand blast all the debris and cause scratching. First spray some ONR solution with a pump spray over the car to soften up any dirt, sand, etc. then foam blast it. Let it sit for minute the wipe from top to bottom. Panel by panel
U just scratched the car by not rinsing first 💀
Exactly
Except it was foamed and rinsed, but edited out. You can see it if you look closely. Edited it out to fit time limit and focus on the 2 bucket technique
I thought same thing lmao “save the window fuck the trunk” 🤣🤣🤣
Yup
He's claiming he rinsed it and edited it 😄😄😄. Brother, the next slide when you was washing the car with the mitt.. there was soap all way down the bottom, on the side skirts. So you're saying you have been all the way to the bottom with the mitt, then back up to the roof and boot ? Common 😄😄😄 learn to safely wash a car.
Me watching how to wash a car
And here I don't even own a car
Does anyone else hear Jack Reacher every time this guy says "bucket"?
Also dont wash in the sun or on a hot day. Clean as much off with just a hose with high volume/low pressure. The type of soap is super important. And when washing, use a chamois to absorb the water with a dual roller to hand-wring it through.
in Germany we just go to a self service washing station, they're around every corner and we clean the car for about 2€. tbh cheaper than getting all the equipment yourself, unless you already have it
Wait Americans don't have that?
2€ is Impossible. At least 8€
You can‘t go to a washing park with every car. We got an oldtimer and this car needs to be cleaned by hand
In Germany it's not allowed to wash car on the street. Ecological terror ;-)
@@hulaszczezycie6130 noone cares about thar, I see people do this every time. Even I do it.
We're missing the last half of your instructional
just below giving my family a house to call home, motivation #2 to working my butt off to buy my first house was to have a driveway with a water spigot to meticulously wash my cars. I love the idea of mounting the hose reel and pressure washer in the garage! I can set it up opposite of my air compressor and air hose reel. Got sick and tired of the air pump at every gas station within a few miles always out of service
Rule #1. Never wash a car in the sun.
This applies more to the temperature outside than the sun. For all we know it could be 10°C in that Video
I learned this the wrong way, when I noticed that I had water or soap marks left on my car. 😔
it's illegal to clean your car in your own driveway in europe (west at least)
What's the reason for that.
@@chrislim7976 you dont want your neighbourhood being polluted by toxic chemicals washed of your car and from car shampoo. Additionally you wash oils, fuels and lubes from your car, right into soil. in US people seem not to care at all about world and nature they are leaving in
@@chrislim7976 That’s a thing to keep chemicals out of the groundwater. Also there may be chemicals in the cleaning supplies, which can’t be filtered by sewage treatment plants.
@@arianschmid7435
Ok. So businesses like car washes and who knows what are NOT putting chemicals down the sewers? I'm just wondering why they would target private homes.
@@chrislim7976 nope they don’t. There are drainage systems beneath the car at those locations..... you guys seriously doing this at home? Sheees!!!
Ik there’s a lot of comments about the tools used and just general distaste and sarcasm but I hope this helps regular people who just wanna do it the right way. The little things like washing from the top down, don’t use a hard brush on the actual car, only the tires (and rims if their not painted and you care more about actually getting it clean rather than scraping the metal), and after washing the windows, immediately rinse them and dry them first so you don’t get water streaks and spots. I’m super thankful I had my father in my life to teach me the right way to wash my car and do other things, and I hope videos like this can help people who aren’t as fortunate to have that role model and adult father figure in their life to teach them the right way to do even simple things.
Thank god, FINALLY! Theres only 10,000 other videos showing you how to wash your car 😂
That spin into the foam cleaning was so smooth
My dad owns a detailing business and it’s always better to use the 10 rag method have one bucket filled with soap and water and put 10 microfiber towels in it. Use one towel per section of the car that is to guarantee you don’t get any scratches.
And saves so much time! Or you could use multiple wash mitts
This method is trash and outdated!
So true. And you save water.
@@eljefe5275 wash mitts hold dirt inside the fiber a lot more than the microfiber towels do #themoreyouknow 😹
that's a shitty way of doing it. we used the same sponge for the entire car and don't even replace the sponges between cars. i worked for a professional detailer. you ain't scratching the car if you actually wash it properly. we already had tons of wash clothes to wash in the washer every week no use in using 50x as many
@@rampage3337 if you use the same sponge for all the cars you cleaned that’s not a detail shop there’s a car wash🧽 😹😹😹
Great 👍🏾 tips just simple 👌🏾
This is a winner method. Simple, direct and effective. 10X that.
When I was 15 yes old my sister taught me how to breathe. I really changed my life.
Mine at 15 taught me how to segs.. it changed my hole outlook on lyfe
Solid advice. Cleaning my car I've definitely left a lot of micro scratches on it that looked uglier before I washed my car.
A little tip after using the foam cannon let it sit for 5 to 10min after which rinse it with the pressure washer/hose then wash by hands. If done without rinsing all the dirt and contaminates that were on the car you can now scratch because you didi not rinse it. Great video 👍
Bro just makes such a huge deal out of it😂
It's also good to do this in the morning or just before sunset so that the soap doesn't dry on the car before you've had a chance to rinse it off.
Social media has really taught me that I’ve been living my life wrong and I should not be classed as an adult 😭😭😭
That's the actual process of becoming an adult
Well, now you know.
I had the same epiphany too! Yes! 😂
Consider yourself conscious. Now grow my sibling ✨
Social media is everyone doing their best and advice from experts. So don't worry, you're not alone - not everyone knows to do this.
That was so satisfying 😌 ty 4 sharing
All i need is a automated car wash lol
Rinse the car off with the pressure, washer or high pressure water hose first to get as much dust and dirt off as you can, that’s what really scratches it.
This is sarcasm right? The internet has broke me lol. I just wanna warn the average person that if you go out and grab your pressure washer that you use to clean your deck you could damage your paint over time. Too much pressure at the wrong angle could cause you to embed the grit and possibly leave micro scratches
@@-pyrosef- I'm sure that if you use the regular unpressurized water to rinse the car first before using the pressure washer, it should be fine
@@-pyrosef- Yah that’s why you don’t go point blank right up to it like a goof, you step back and spray at a reasonable distance and the guy in the video deff put micro scratches on his car not doing what Mathew said first, I own a pressure washer and never put scratches on my cars
When i was 15yo, my grandma used to read me windows 11 pro activation keys. I never forgot them

Never wash a car in direct sunlight
Let me casually build a warehouse real quick just so I can wash my car in shade.
You can wash a car in sunlight, it's only bad to do if you're moving slow and letting soaps sit on the car too long.
You just need a ph neutral soap and do one section at a time
@@robdiibzee459 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 bro Im done
Just don't let the soap dry on it. I occasionally spray soapy sections with a mist just to keep it wet if I'm washing in the sun. You don't need a warehouse, just park under the shade from a tree.
@@Sharrieff93 😂😂😂 "I don't have a genuine response to a reasonable comment so I'm just going to spam emojis" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll just go to the carwash and be done in 2 minutes lol
And come back with lots of scratches
@@Hela.. 😂😂
@@Hela.. Touchless car washes cannot make scratches.
it's a hobby, just let him enjoy it.
And he’s sending all the soap and pre-wash into the sewer.
This is the most convenient pressure washer setup I have seen. Apart from the pressure washer and washer gun , what extension hose setup are you using ? Would be great if you provide a link

Wow! Thank you so much! When my husband died I had no idea how to wash a car. I have struggled for years. Now I feel empowered. Thank you, sincerely.

I need to talk to your brother because we're missing some steps here... What are the buckets for?
Your family sure holds some valuable knowledge.
😂
Huh ?

Next thing up, how to cut grass with a lawnmower……😂
It's called common sense which you clearly don't have if you think this is valuable lmao
My anxiety when the video ends before he completely ends up cleaning the car 📈📈
We’ve all got our own ways of washing a car and I like your two bucket method. Pretty cool
"The grit guard allows the grit to fall to the bottom of the bucket."
Technically, grit will fall to the bottom whether or not you have a guard in place. What the guard does is prevent your mitt from picking the grit back up after it has fallen down there.
PSA: the car was foamed initially, and then rinsed down prior to being foamed again. This was edited out to focus on the two bucket technique.
The cars paint was cool after being removed from the garage. I also have a water filter and drying aid that prevents water spots. Obviously wash in the shade if you can, however I need good lighting for videos and have no shade.
@@bioblockdave tf u talking bout cap nigga?
Yeah ground is dry you lie
@@justinpatalsky1 that’s because he recorded him putting on the first layer of foam, then turned off the camera before rinsing off the first layer and putting on the second layer.
@@badlighting no probably not
