extrabolts- Well, you can dial it back to sane-person level and keep it reasonable. The general idea of blowing off most of the water and then wiping up what's left is the big thing, all that other [stuff] is just me being me.
And important part of getting away with the wiping-motion drying is ensuring that you get *all* the dirt off before you start touching the car (to dry it). The reason blotting is really better is that any residual dirt will be far less likely to cause marring, and sooner or later there *will* be that residual dirt.

This thread led to a paradigm shift in my thinking and therefore my execution of my washing technique. It's got to contain the best general detailing tips for the most important detailing step--washing, I've received.
I also believe it was responsible for the proliferation of foam gun availability and sales across numerous detailing supplies sites over the past several years. I can't live without mine and if you digest this thread, you'll see exactly how to use it and why it's such a great tool.
Mods, do grant this thread platinum status! :xyxthumbs :bow

Re: Accumulator`s Non-Marring Wash Technique
For those seeking a better wash technique, this is definitely worth a revisit. I printed it out long ago. That`s how long it`s been since I`ve had a swirl. Using the foam gun this way truly works.
