How many buckets of water do you need to wash the average sized car? This is water mixed with car wash and wax which i bought from Halfords.

Around 4 or 5
First one just plain water to rinse off all dust lying on surface
Second one HOT with 1 - 2 capfuls of the wash/wax solution
Thrid/fourth/fifth to rinse all bubbles off.
Start on the roof and work down to bonnet, boot, upper flanks, bumpers, lower flanks amd always finish on the wheels, otherwise you will be moving dirt onto an area you have just cleaned !
I'm sure you'll have it all washed up in no time!!!

You must hose car first to make sure no stones on it or bits of grit, as these can be picked up by your sponge and scratch your car, then use two or three buckets to wash car, then hose off again, clean the wheels with a seperate clean bucket of water you can get special cleaners if you have alloys. Make sure you chamois the car with special leather or drying cloth. This will stop water marks, you can then wax or polish. If your a hot girl too hot pants and boob tubes are a must too!

instead of using buckets juss use a water hose...only use the bucket to wash but not to rinse it or wuteva... depending on tha capsize use one cap full for every bucket full or until u get tha desired abmount of sap suds. and risk freazin out in this cold..unlessu live out west.. but to make ya life easier find a carwash that has waxing included for about 5 dollars... its cheaper if u go at night after 7 because they usually have deals and its would probably be cheaer if u were to go to tha city..it might be cheaper and they will still do a good job but u gotta vacuum tha inside yaself

Just go to the Car wash or get some illegal imagrant to wash it you will usually find them in big shopping centre car parks or tescos have them as well now. if you insist on doing it yourself about 1 and a half cup fulls per 2.5 ltr bucket and don't use a hose we have a water shortage remember

Its better to put soap on it first and dump 12 buckets of water.

I use one bucket load to rinse off dirt, another with car wash liquid to wash it and then two more to thorough rinse it off.
