Hi Rudra,
Great write up, you are really thorough.
Dont know about the rest of you, but if I wash my car more than once a week, I collect real flak from the wife.
Heres my two bits worth :-
(1)I find that chamois leather (its a little expensive initially, but is really long lasting) is the best for the bucket wash method. You get excellant c.leather at Stanley, for around 300 bucks apiece.
(2) For windsheilds+glass mix any shampoo in water (should be slippery to touch), fill it in a sprayer (the kind you get in any kirana shop), spray on generously and squeejee it off. Finally, wipe any remaining wet spots with a clean (read no grease/grime) cloth. This will remove that irritating film (which gives you multi-colour effects from on-coming headlights at night) on your glass surfaces.
