Everyone who regularly uses QEW, please post the method you use in this thread. This thread will be moved to the Hall of Fame in a few days so new QEW users will have something to refer to.
My method:
I use 1 bucket, 1 gallon of water and 2 capfuls of QEW. If the car is very dirty, I will either prerinse or use a second bucket to rinse out the wash pad.
I wash one section at a time, using a chenille covered wash pad. I then use a terry cloth towel for the initial drying pass, making sure I leave some moisture behind for the second drying pass. I use a microfiber towel for the second pass. The reason you want to leave some moisture behind for the final drying pass is that dry paint + dry towels = streaks.
I start at the front of the vehicle and do half the hood, then the fender on that side and half the grill, then around to the other side of the hood, then fender/grill, half the windshield and roof, side windows, etc, working my way around the car. I find that to be the fastest way, since I begin and end in the same place and only have to go around the car one time.
