Newbie, Hi.

Its dead simple wash your car using 2 buckets, pressure wash before, dry with a clean microfibre towel and to finish with a spray detailing solution, all nice and shiny and a bit of wax protection thrown in for good measure

I used to use the 2 (or even 3 inc wheels) bucket method but realised that you are much better off rinsing out your wash pad/mitt with the pressure washer and squeezing out before going back in the single bucket. I never ever see any dirt in my bucket (I use clear buckets for this reason).
I would recommend a prewash with a good snow foam and / or APC spray before the contact wash especially in the winter rather than just pressure wash but this is where you need to ensure correct dilutions so as not to remove any protection you have on and may want to keep working.

/\ your Enyaq’s are so lucky

Mine ‘might’ get a wash at Christmas, and then the next one will be in the Spring when the weather starts improving . One more in the Summer which will take me through to next Christmas .

Goaty, your lucky to have the Enyaq.

Ive noticed compared to our Kodiaq that it doesn't get nearly as dirty, not the wheels, the sides or up the back, its not like an ICE car where the contaminants get embedded in the paint and attract other contaminants.

Good car for the unwashed .

/\ I think I’m realising how lucky I am to have got it in only 5 months. No problems with it either

That still doesn’t persuade me to get busy with a bucket and sponge

[metalmadhammer]

Sponges are a no-no.
Will almost certainly cause marring just like chamois.
Chenille is the safest, microfiber pads the most effective yet still safe.
