Introduction
Where the pre-wash stage was to remove the easily removable dirt, the washing stage will remove most of the stubborn dirt. As noted in the pre-wash mini guide, we do the pre-wash to help avoid inflicting more swirl marks when we do a hand wash. The best practice in this stage is the two bucket method, all noted below.
