Buckets are buckets.. Just use the two bucket method.

I'm not an expert, but started to get into the more in depth side of cleaning the car last year. Started on my last car, a black Honda civic. My gti (also black) needs a detail, but I'm waiting for better weather before I tackle it. If your going to polish by hand I'd recommend Gteqniq p1 polish applied by tri-foam applicator, will take a lot of elbow grease/time but a pretty good polish then use auto glym super resin polish to "mask" any remaining swirls. Poorboys black hole glaze is a good product for dark colour cars too.

Use a decent wash mitt... either a proper lambswool one or go to Halfords and buy the sort of dark grey sheep skin or whatever one it is they have, that is quite a good one as well, about £9.
You won't get any genuine correction by hand, well, you can but it's very hard work simply don't bother take it from me it's not worth the ache. So either pay for it to be done or buy the equipment you need yourself
If you correct the paintwork and then wash and also importantly, dry it in the correct manner you will never get bad paint over the duration of your ownership.
and never use a bloody drive through / polish / 5 quid special car wash!!!!

Haha i've learnt from the sponge never mind use them horrid car wash's
think i'll look at the polish machines and maybe see if i can pick a second hand one up cheap that way i'll be able to save a bit of money for some pads etc :happy2:

You can buy a Das6 pro for £100 brand new.
With pads and polishes it's under £150 to get going, not much at all really :drinking:
