Basiclly,
Have 2 buckets, 1 with your car shampoo in and one with water in. Dip your wash mitt/sponge into the shampoo and wash an area of the car. Then rinse it in the water to free any grit on the wash mitt/sponge. Repeat until the car is done. It cut's down on light swirling and light scratches.

exactly as cloud says, personally i regularly change the water in the rinse bucket too as it gets dirty quickly and you dont want any grit you have just rinsed out getting back into your wash mitt
