I like the idea of doing more with less. I was thinking a similar thing to what was already typed. If one is concerned with maybe having a dirty wash mitt.....then you could hose it off and ring it out after each panel before putting it back into the bucket of car wash soap.

Water is not an issue here. We are on a well. I was wondering about that too about just spraying off the wash mitt. Then there is no need for a second bucket. I like the idea of the foam gun that hooks to a water hose. The foam cannon seems a bit overkill and very expensive after you add the...

Thanks for the help guys. Just trying to learn while being economical and getting the best value for the money. Fun stuff.

Alright. Next question. Two bucket method or foam gun? I do not own a preasure washer so no foam cannon. This guy here in a video is very anti two bucket. It is all about choice I guess. YouTube

Carpet duty you type? I have noticed that you can get brush attachments for a DA polisher. I am really starting to see why the $120 Mothers kit can be limiting. I think that I will enjoy a DA polisher once I get one. I am excited about the idea.

I was wondering about the Harbor Fright machine as well. I have looked at videos about the machine on FaceTube, YouBook, and YouTwitFace. It seems that people like to mod it by cleaning out the cheap grease and repacking the ring and pinion with better grease. Some also like to relocate the...

Thank you all for the help so far. I feel like I should add some more information. I realize that a lot of guys like tools. The more the better. My cousin is an auto tech that works on the vans for the disabled folks like me who can not drive. Well, he has over the years purchased $100k plus of...

Thank you very much for the reply. I also enjoyed the article. I am trying to learn, so please forgive the newbie questions. What will the Garriots Garage or Porter Cable DA machines do that the Mothers Wax Attack kit will not?
