It's what you use 2 hours before the 4 Kit method....
Seriously though, I would imagine its one bucket for suds, one to squeeze dirty water and one to rinse, or something similar to prevent dirty water or grit from being reapplied?

sure you dont mean the 2 bucket method mate

you wash the car with 2 buckets with grit guards in them.

one with soap and one with just water, you wash 1- 2 panels at a time (sponge ot mitt)
then you put the sponge, mitt in the bucket with just water to get any dirt off it before
putting it in the soap bucket to wash the next panel.

helps to stop the painwork getting scratched with the sponge or mitt while you are washing the car.

you can wash the whole car with the first bucket of soap solution going roof downwards, wheels last, then wash the whole car again with clean water then dry.

The third bucket you use to wash yourself before you enter the car or re-enter the house wink
