Friend took a picture of me cleaning my Camaro W/O me knowing, cool pic

[Kiss My SS]

Not to be rude but I dont understand what is so "cool" about the photo?, looks like some dude washing his car, without 5 buckets, 5 gritguards and not using Adam's products and no shampoo.....lol

Only thing I see wrong is you don't have a beer sitting on the curb for refreshment!! What were you thinking??

Haha, not making fun of your method or anything, that's great to see you taking care of your ride. I'm poking fun at the multiple bucket methods people have and how much people baby their rides. I've always used one bucket, however I just started using another bucket. I do see the benefit of using two buckets.

Like many of us, we have our cars as our daily driver. So we get a lot of dirt and other contaminants on our cars. Wouldn't you think it would be beneficial to wring out your dirty mit in a separate pale first, before putting it in your clean soapy water? Makes sense to me.

But whatever method works for you, more power to you. As long as your having a good time, and your car comes out clean, there isn't anything wrong with what method you choose. It's your car after all.

Nice "How not to wash your car pick". Now the noobs know how vicious the attack dogs on camaro5 are. Its good you didn't post the pic of you pissing in the bucket before the wash!

I love the 5th gen community. 2 buckets, grit guards, no watches. You guys are aware that some people DD these cars, right?

Nice work! Other than using Adams, what's your secret? How did you get in the running for the Adams best shine award? Is that something they ask for people to send in pictures for or was it at a show?

And to the OP, nice pic. Nothing wrong with a pic of someone enjoying their ride and taking care of it as they see fit. There are benefits to using the two-bucket system, grit guards, and quality pads and towels but it's all in what level of "good" you are willing to accept.

I use two buckets but only have a grit guard in the one I use to rinse with. Some people have guards in both. I don't see the point, already had one bucket, bought the Adams basic wasn n' wax kit and didn't feel like buying an extra guard. So there's one example. Also, scrub as hard as I can against the grit guard and my Adams mit still has the occasional dirt particle stuck in it so it's not an exact science anyway.

Short of washing your car with a brick, anything is better than never washing it at all.
