Grit Guard Bucket
Discussion
If I'm using a grit guard style bucket is still worth using the 2 bucket washing technique. I have also been recommended to use Megiars gold class shampoo with my snow foam lance and was wondering if anyone else had any other recommendations? It needs to be detergent free so not to wash the wax off.
The car has had a full paint correction by Envy Valeting, who did a superb job and I cannot stress what a difference it has made to my M3.
Thanks

I'd still go with the 2 bucket method.
I think you need to put the grit guard in your dirty water bucket... you run your wash mitt over the grit guard to remove any dirt from the mitt.
I use Valet Pro - PH Neutral Snowfoam - approx 1" in the bottle and then filled up with warm water.
Normally can do 5 cars or so with one full bottle.

Hello there,
Yes, continue to use the two bucket method with your grit guards, as this is another way of reducing the chance of scratching the paintwork.
When using your foam lance, there are many products you can put in there, one of my recommendations is Envy PH Neutral snowfoam.
Hope this helps

Hey Andy!
Many thanks for the kind words, it was a pleasure to meet you and the M3
Questions wise, yes! Stick with the 2 bucket method. Its all about lessening the risk of marking the car. A moments lapse to answer the phone, distracted by her indoors etc etc and you can have a nice mark in the paint. Carrying out best practise whenever possible.
The gold class is for your wash bucket and is an excellent shampoo for the money and is wax friendly.
SSF for your lance, pH neutral if possible but its important to get something that is wax friendly. I know the ones I use are, as are the ones at Clean Your Car and Elite Car car (have a look at the labels as they are all made at the same place!)

Buying in bulk will be cheapest ie 5 litres or 25 litres, and I'm sure you'll easily be able to get through 25 litres in a year.

Check out the label on the 25 litre SSF and you'll see its basically the same as the other example, but offers great value.
