....that funny! Good idea using the two bucket method but you should start at the top first and finish with the wheels. One more thing, you didn't blow out your mirrors so once it's on the road you'll have water running down the sides of your sedan. A compressor or even a leaf blower will eliminate that problem and dry your G quicker, liked the vid....

I did start at the top
it just moves too quickly. I did Sunroof >All the glass>Top of Trunk>Hood then I do the rest in random order then doors are always last. Its also debatable on when you should clean your wheels people say to do it first so you dont get dirt on your mit or what not.
And If you see right when I pull it in and start drying, I am using a leaf blower
I am glad you enjoyed it

Cool video...good song as well. Have you ever used a rinseless wash like ONR? I use to do the same method you were using but ONR is insane. You can keep work inside your garage if it it's rain, shine, sleet, hail, snow whatever.
Since you never have so much water on the car, you can subtract the leaf blower and the unnecessary drying time of all the jambs and little areas that water gets into when you cover the car.
Also not sure what you use for a last step product but give blackfire wet diamond a try. It leaves the paint insanely slick and it looks very glossy. My car is brilliant silver and it literally shines so with your car being black, it would look great.
Here's a review of it from one of the best detailers out there: http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-P...roduct-review/

Lol yea
Get my Dirty bucket put some soap in it clean all the wheels with a brush/wheel mitt.
Dump it out and put fresh water in it. Put some Soap in the clean bucket and then start washing the car, Roof+Windows then I go back to the dirty bucket and clean off my mitt of dirt string it(is that how you say that?) Then go into the Clean bucket and go to the trunk and then I go back back to the dirty bucket.
I then do the hood and front bumper dirty bucket, Rear bumper then dirty bucket, Rear fenders, I use one side of the mitt per side Then Dirty, Front Fenders dirty bucket. Then it comes to the doors I make sure I got my mitt soaking wet and do each side. Then rinse it all off. I try not to keep the soap on for too long or it will clean away the wax layer I have on.
Then I wash the car all at once again then rinse.
Alot of the swirls you might get is during drying so with wax on the car using a leaf blower is so easy the water just slides off. Then you just get your MF Cloth and clean the small areas of water left.

The way I did the time lapse every min is an hour.
I did start at the top it just moves too quickly. I did Sunroof >All the glass>Top of Trunk>Hood then I do the rest in random order then doors are always last.
Its also debatable on when you should clean your wheels people say to do it first so you dont get dirt on your mit or what not.
