If possible choose a nice shady spot to do your work. Pour the soap in the bucket and fill with cold water making a nice foamy lather. Rinse down the entire car and try to hose off any stuck on mud or soil. Start from the hood and begin washing the car, I like to do all the top surfaces first and then move to the sides.
