Please correct me if I'm wrong, but are you not the same guy that had the gold Corsa and believe that folding the rear seats down would save weight?

Oh and nice car.

why use 2 buckets for? i know one is for soapy water, the other clean water..but why..whats the point?

[dc53]

So the dirt from the sponge isn't going back onto the sponge to make way for some nice scratches

[K321]

Are you also the same guy who spent 3 days cleaning a brand new car?

[m3evo2]

If the car was 15 years old I would be impressed.

[K321]

what i realy want to know is...
how do you keep a car STAYING clean? is there a trick that you can drive the car in the wet and keep it still looking pretty clean?

Wash it after you use it.

ETA - Oh and some decent polish/wax.

cheers, will try that
and whats difference between polish and wax?

[m3evo2]

You could say polish is an abrasive cleaner while wax is just a protective layer but not all polishes are abrasive.

...so do you still drive with your rear seats folded down to save weight!!

Clean car by the way.
