Thanks. One for washing the wheels, one for washing the paint, and one for rinse.

I used to do a 3 bucket method but I am lazy. I do have one for the car and one for wheels though. I have yet to mess a car finish up... I use high quality microfiber wash mitts and use a grit guard in the bucket. If you are only going to have two buckets, definitely do not mix wheels and paint. Or use the paint one for wheels after you have thoroughly washed the car and do not plan to wash any painted surfaces again...

Got it. I use Sonax wheel cleaner and wheel woolies. So no need for third bucket. Just rinse off the wheels and the brushes.

Cleaning ourselves off before starting to wash the car, of course

My wife always assumed it was for the beer, silly girl that she is.

When you pull in behind an RS 6 Avant, it’s worth a photo.

Last Pic of my car...recently sold to a new home. Gone but not forgotten. Great vehicle...one of "the best I've ever had" [as the R&B singer Drake said in his song].



Last drive...

Delivery bound!
