Default detailing/washing bucket

My camo xb is my first new car and I really want to keep it looking nice. I was just wondering what everyone else used to wash and detail their cars.

If you really want to learn to keep your xB looking new, go to www.autopia.org - there's a "Learn" button to help you get started.

Just about ready to give up on Mr Clean. With AZ water, the filter only lasts one wash.

After that ,you get this ugly white film all over. If I do continue to use it, I will change the filiter every time.

Finally got an absorber that works great, so I may just go back to the old fashion way and use the absorber to dry.

Another thing I have tried for the later drips is have some distilled water and use it on a clean rag. Worked great.
