I know there are many different QEW techniques, and maybe mine is common, but here it is. Two buckets, 1 gallon w/QEW in each, 2 MF, One MF towel, 1 bottle of WAUD. When I make a pass with the MF, if on a side panel/door etc, I have it folded twice over, flat in my hand, put at the highest point on the panel, and let the MF slide down the panel with just enough pressure to hold it against the panel. I then move to the next "swipe" area and proceed. As I do this, I can look at the LEADING edge of the MF, and that is where all the dirt is being picked up, not under my hand....it is really wierd, but very effective. I'll turn the MF as needed, but can always do a panel with one before rinsing and switching to the second MF, changing after each panel
If I have some dried on dirt/rain spray, I will pre-soak the panel to soften, but 9 out of 10 times, I don't. I then spray the WAUD on the panel just washed, then with my MF towel, I dry and WAX at the same time......what an awesome gloss maintenance step. I do an F350 crew cab, dually 4X4 in 60 mins or less. No mess, no marring.....Oh yeah.....it is BLACK. I will get some pics up soon.
