Detailers help? Storage and cleaning of detailing stuff?

[Slug172]

Whats the proper way to store a chamois?

Do i need to wash my meguiars water magnet? How often and how?

I use meguiars ultimate wipe for waxing should i wash it after every use and how?

Ive got a clay bar and spray to use does my car need to be dry after washing to use it, and do i wash my car again then after?

Should i use scratch x before or after claying?

Is there any product i could spray under my wheels arches to clean them then hose off?

I use two buckets one with shampoo and one with just water and replace the water often. I only get through one bucket of shampoo, ive read some people get through 3 or 4, how come?

Just some things ive been wondering about?

I store my fake Chamois in the tubes they come in.

I wash my waffle weaves when they look grubby.

Wash other microfibers after every use.

I wash the car, rinse and then using more soapy water rather than waste expensive quick detailer, clay the car while wet, then dry.

Scratch X - after claying.

Wheel Arches, Hose off, Spray Autoglym Engine and machine Cleaner, scrub and rinse and dry.

I use loads of water when washing, 2 buckets of shampoo water and one to rinse the mitt after every pass for the bodywork, then 2- 4 bucket fulls for the arches and wheels. The more soapy water to lift of the grime, and lubrictate the wash mitt on the paint, the less chance of scratching.
