Just wondering what you guys do. I see people do it differently. Others say one is right, the other's wrong, etc.

Re: How Do You Fill The Wash Bucket?
I will usually fill a 5 gallon bucket with about 4 gallons of water, put in my grit guard, let the remain air bubbles disipate(which allows the grit gaurds to float), then I add my car wash of choice(hyper wash), give a bit of a stirring with the mit to get the soap well mixed then procede from there.

Re: How Do You Fill The Wash Bucket?
I had been doing soap first then water but got tired to dealing with all the suds so I have switched to adding soap when the bucket is almost full. For products like ONR, it really does not matter since they do not generate much in suds.Al

Water first, then 4 oz of GC using a 1/2 cup plastic measuring cup with a handle. I swirl in the soap and then agitate the water holding the measuring cup by it's handle. When I feel the soap is sufficiently mixed, I "brake" the water by holding the measuring cup steady, counter to the swirling water, to clean off residual shampoo. I get a good mix of suds and solution.

Re: How Do You Fill The Wash Bucket?
Definitely fill with water first. I have my wash bucket marked at the three and four gallon marks, depending on the size of the car I'm washing; cars get three gallons and trucks/SUV's get four gallons of water. I then have a 1/2 cup (4 oz.) measuring cup that I use to measure out my soap. Meguiars recommends 1 oz of soap per gallon of water, so I use 3-4 oz. of soap based on my water level. After that, I rinse my measuring cup off in the water to get all the soap out. Then, I swirl the water around by hand to thoroughly mix & dillute the soap. Finally, I place my grit guard and mitt in the bucket and I'm ready to go.
