I have never used the 2 bucket method, but I did once have an employer that told me that a detail can be done right with ONLY, 6 gallons of water, and no other water access, utilizing the 2 bucket method. He is the owner of a well established mobil company. This is what I thought was garbage. Sorry for the confusion. I was trying to tell the story through the clients eye. This is where the confusion came from. I have always prewashed with a powerwasher. Back to the employer, I went out with him the first day for ( TRAINING ) He tells me were going to an office building to do a 96 BMW M3. We arrive the car is black, and filthy. He gets out his water, and tells me about the 2 bucket meth. He has one clean, and one mildly soapy, takes his mitt dips it in the soap,and begins to wash only using the clean water at the end to rinse. He completed the detail, and charged the client 280.00, no engine bay, no door jambs, no wheel wells ect. I have to say his buisness does very well. In my opinion this is not acceptable, it scared the $@!& out of me. I did'nt work one day for him. I went home, and still have crazy nightmares to this day. I should have labled my original post DEFINITION OF A HACK. My bad !
