Pressure washer rinse: great call, when I started using one it really improved my wash regime. And I`m only using a cheap electric one.
Foam cannon is fine, section by section or foam the whole car. I personally think it`s more important to rinse your wash mitt frequently, or in your case, grab a new one. I`m not sure how many you have but I wouldn`t want to do a dirty car with just two mitts.
One thing I picked up from Accumulator is the idea that your rinse bucket should be almost clean at the end of the wash. I know you`re not using a rinse bucket but the idea is that the more contaminants you remove before you
wipe the car the less contaminates there are that can
scratch the car. It`s a simple idea and in your case I would take plenty of time with that initial pressure washer washer rinse and pay extra attention to any bugs, bird droppings, leaves, etc. you see that are clearly abrasive.
Final point is don`t chase paint perfection if it`s not important to you. Whether this is a necessary chore or a hobby you enjoy don`t let it own you if it doesn`t need to. Though if you do want to go down the OCD rabbit hole we`re here to help
