Wouldn't the two-bucket method be inferior compared to this?

I've been using the four bucket method with great results! Soap solution, diluted soap solution, rinse and final rinse. Two carts, two buckets each. :chuckle:

My four bucket method is a little different, just wash/rinse but a set of each for each side of the wash bay. Plus the wheel/tire bucket.
 
Or you could consider using a brush instead of a mitt, where any grit just flicks off in the rinse bucket quickly and with no bending :)
 
I like to wash the mitt in a dedicated washing machine after every pass. My washes take about 4 weeks but my mitt keeps ideal for washing.
 
I'm a huge fan of 2 bucket and Grit Guards. I think rinsing wouldn't free the particles embedded in the MF as well as dunking in the rinse bucket. If the car is really dirty, I use a second Grit Guard in the rinse bucket as use it as a washboard for the chenille MF mitts I use.



Rinsing would also waste a lot of water.
 
The fact that some say that they can get non-marringl results from no pre-soap rinse and just one bucket than some with four buckets and a foam cannon. There is a large difference between these extremes.
 
I never use a bucket to rinse the mitt in. I use 3 buckets, all with soap in them, one for the wheels, wheel wells and lower parts(with a sponge and some brushes in it). Then one for each side of the car(with separate clean mitts). I rinse the mitt with the hose as needed. This way I don't have to run around the car dragging two buckets with me. I think the rinse bucket gets filled with suds and dirty water too fast to really do any good(if the car is really dirty).

It's interesting that some use just one bucket with ONR to wash an entire dirty car and others use 5 buckets, a foam gun, multiple mitts, brushes and good knows what and we are all autopians :)
