Detailing 101 Series: Two Bucket Washing System

You’ve spent plenty of money the purchase of your bike, or car, now the question arises, ‘How do I take care of it?”. The answer is vital to retaining the value of your vehicle and reducing future costs due to premature deterioration.


At previous article, we already say one of the washing toolkit, Wash Mitt. Now, we will continue to the next one.


CAR WASH BUCKET (TWO BUCKET WASHING SYSTEM)

When it comes to swirl free washing, one of the greatest ideas to come along is the two bucket method of car washing. As the name implies you use two separate buckets to wash your car. One bucket holds the soapy car wash solution and the other holds clean, clear rinse water so you can rinse your mitt after each pass over your car. This keeps those dirt particles you just picked up on the surface from going back into the clean car wash solution and being picked up again by the wash mitt.


This brings me to another washing tools….Grit Guard Inserts. This is an optional additional tools for swirl-free washing. An enthusiast car owner should using the Grit Guart Inserts, and you will see the differences. The Grit Guard Inserts is a round plastic insert grate that sits on the bottom of your bucket suspended from the bottom by four lateral fins. Dirt from your wash mitt drops to the bottom of the bucket and is kept at the bottom of the bucket, ensuring that your wash mitt doesn’t pick up the dirt you just washed off of the car. When you finish washing your car and lift the Grit Guard Insert up and you will see how well it works. The Grit Guard Insert should be used in both the wash and rinse buckets for optimum protection against instilling swirl marks. 


We, at Motor Bridal, even tough, not 100% following the two bucket system, but we follow its principle. We separate the car wash shampoo for the body paint, and shampoo to clean bike's arm, tire, engine etc. We also having an unlimited running clean water to clean the sponge and wash mitts. Motor Bridal also separate sponge and wash mitts used for body paint and bike's engine.


Last but not the least, some Motor Bridal's customer are asking for two bucket system to clean their bike and it won't be a problem for us.
