Yep, what trix said!

I have two buckets and two grit gaurds and 3 wash mitts and this is what I do:-

First rinse the car then using one of the mitts which is the wheels mitt. I give the wheels a good clean using one bucket with shampoo and one with clean water and making sure to rinse in the clean water before dunking in the shampoo bucket. I then rinse the wheels off and then do it all again with fresh water and shampoo so that they are cleaned twice.
Then I move onto the body and I have an upper body mitt and a lower body mitt - I follow the same two bucket and two cleans method as with the wheels.
I then rinse the whole car and wheels again before drying with a drying cloth or, if I'm feeling lazy and can't be bothered to wax, before drying the car I use some demon shine which you just add to a bucket of water and pour over the car.
Then for me it's usually just wax time (I use the chemical guys butter look wet wax).

I'm NOT a dedicated car cleaner though so I'm sure other will have better suggestions!
