1) I was amazed how clean the wash water stayed while using the two-bucket method! When I finished the car, I could still see the bottom of the bucket because the water was still so clean! I was amazed. 
I'm glad someone is using this method. Did you see how dirty the rinse bucket was?

Well - first off. DON'T EVER USE DISH SOAP!!! I'm SHOCKED that the Zaino site said to do that. They should be shunned for that. Dish soap will discolor your plastic moldings - the alkalinity is made for dishes, not paint and plastic. Plus, it gets into the local drinking water, etc... If you are concerned about grease buildup, go to the store and get something that will remove grease from cars. Tar-off will do it. A citrus based cleaner will do it. Just don't EVER use dishsoap. It does more harm than good.
Please don't post when it's quite clear you do not know what you are talking about. I have used Dawn for many years with ZERO ill effects.

Why? It's good enough to clean your eating utensils, plates, bowls, pots and pans that you and your family eat from but not good enough for your car's paint?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using a Dawn or any other dish liquid on your paint - as long as you use it sparingly and infrequently. When diluted and rinsed properly, dish soap does no harm to your car.
To all those screaming that dish soap is harmful:
Prove it. Otherwise, please refrain from posting unsupported information.
