Two buckets are a must. Otherwise, half way through, you're washing the car with dirty, gritty water.
My routine for just a wash:
Low pressure, non-contact rinse with the pressure washer not pumping
Snow foam, the leave for 5 minutes
Wash (2 buckets and grit guard) with a lambs wool mit
Rinse with pressure washer (with the 'car' nozzle)
Open doors, boot, bonnet, petrol flap and clean sills etc with a microfibe cloth
Towel dry with large microfibre towel
Wash wheels (they have been snowfoamed too) with a third bucket (wheels are too dirty to share a bucket with the paintwork)
