I have washed my car with the two bucket method in my apartment complex as well, here's what works for me..
I have two buckets, one is full of clean water, the other is my car wash mixture. I rinse my MINI using the clean water, just enough to break any dirt and grime up that may be stuck and wet.. After that I go and wash each panel of my car separately, starting from the top down, rinsing with clean water (I use a full cup and fling it across the surface, so while you're not shooting in volume, you're streaming in speed), washing with car wash, and rinsing again, and then drying with WWMF (waffleweave microfibre). It works pretty well on the occasion that I can't get to a car wash do it yourself place and use my bucket and mixes there! I also wash by car every week, and quick detail it twice a week, so there is always a minimum of crap on my car.
I often have to refill my clean water supply by running back into the apartment and filling it up again in the tub, and then coming out, so that is the only drawback.. The majority of the time I take my car to a do-it-yourself car wash and use their hose to rinse and clean, and my bucket to hold my car wash liquid, and wash my car by hand. (Don't trust those bristle brushes at the public car wash!
