Sad (geeky) i know, but i've finally clued-in to the whole sensible '2 bucket' wash/rinse cleaning routine for washing my CSL.

Bought this DoDo Juice rinse bucket with gritguard as well as wash bucket without gg from Ultimate Finish:

I found their service very good and they were the cheapest around for the product and offer free P&P for orders over £30 :-D

Always done the 2 bucket thing with the CSL but never seen one of them before... Is the idea that the grit sinks to the bottom then your mitt cant reach it?

Indeed. You can put a gg in the wash bucket too but most grit tends to get removed when rinsing your mitt in the rinse water bucket :smt023

Just need to get mine detailed now to get rid of the build-up of swirl marks from years of abuse! :whistle:

I do my Black Csl with Wet and dry 2000 sand paper then G3 on a POLISHING MACHINE then G10 and wax so no swirl marks on my CSL

Leave it to the pros get a detailer or any good paint shop will do it for you if you want the swirl marks off :thumbs:

My local paint shop does it for about £60
