The 2 bucket wash was great and it only cost me $3.50 total for the water to fill the buckets and rinse the car before and after the wash. Love the products and am looking forward to more washes. I had to really hurry because it was in the 90s and the soap/water dried really fast as I was washing the car.

One question I have is about bug residue on the paint/grill/bumper. It's hard to see all the bug spots when the water and suds are on the car, so I missed some of the bug residue. Is there another product I can use to get the small areas of bug residue that was left over after the wash?

Ordered the Interior Kit and more Detail Spray. I really like these products.

I do the same since I live in apartment but living in West Texas I have found I'm going to scratch my car no matter how hard I try because of all the dust in the air here. Just be aware it's going to be hard to get good results, patience is KEY!

For the bugs I get a sponge with a mesh cover on it to break down the bugs. Along with what Dylan said, I would clean the car then use claying to remove the remaining bugs.

Good luck, and remember.... PATIENCE!
