1 bucket car wash...
This 2-bucket method is especially critical for cleaning wheels without scratching them with break dust. But then again, I use 4 different brush types for the wheels alone (my Porsche wheels unfortunately have many crevices), so I may be over the top. Be sure to use a wand spray, preferably with soap attachment, to wash car undercarriage as well.
For body panels, after pre-rinse, I dunk 2 microfiber wash mitts (1 on each hand) into the soapy bucket (#1), then clean 1 panel (ex. 1 door) at a time Daniel-san style, then flip the mitts to wash next panel, then rinse them together in the rinse bucket (#2) with grit guards, then dunk into soapy bucket, repeat. After a few rounds, you'll see the the rinse bucket has already darkened.
After final rinse, clay bar with quick detailer spray to pick up little grits, then buff, polish if needed, apply then synthetic sealant (I only seal once or twice a year).
I actually enjoy this ritual, but it takes a while and tests my wife's patience. Hence I just applied PPF for her mY, and it's off to the car wash with the printed guide for her!
