Default Nice video

I would suggest the 2 bucket method with a grit guard in the bottom for wash buckets. "One bucket for soapy water, one bucket for regular water. After dipping your spunge/mit/shmitt into the soapy water and cleaning the desired panel on the car, you dip your sponge/mit/shmitt into the regular water to shed any large pieces of contamination(bugs, dirt, tar, etc...) you might have cleaned off of your paint. This essentially keeps your washing tool and soapy water cleaner and will produce less contamination based scratches during the wash."

Also try a foam gun to presoak entire car

When rinsing use a stream instead of a spray and the water will sheet off making it easier to dry.

The use of a waffle weave microfiber seems is more absorbant than a chamois. If you have a leaf blower use that to get off the majority if the water.)
