Finally got round too washing the D3. Took my box of goodies to work and used their warm water and space. Washed it panel by panel and I didn't realise how much mud I was taking into the soapy bucket before. The 2 bucket method took a bit longer but kept all the dirt away from the car.
Drying it with the cloth supplied was so much better than the shammy. Didn't get time for the polish, so I now have two weeks off work. So will wash it again and give it a nice polish.
Is there a time when it's to cold to polish or is it not critical?
Methinks it's now time to try out a clay bar and spray!!
Again, you'll be amazed!I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

I've done a search about washing and I understand that I need a nice hand mit thingy not the sponge that I currently have . Everyone keeps going on about the 2 bucket method. Perhaps I'm being stupid but can anyone explain this method. And what is the best wash/wax to use. I don't want a concourse finish just something that looks nice and easy to maintain. Also I don't want to part exchange my kidneys for it all.
I just hose her down until the smell of fish has gone not sure Mrs.10 would be happy with being cold waxed though
