Proper Wash Technique: Back to Basics

I didn't make this video but I saw it on another forum I visit and thought it would be nice to share it here. No shameless plugs for products AG don't sell, so I don't see any harm posting it and I think a lot of people could benefit from seeing its contents.

Enjoy!

Thanks for this video!

Always good to brush up on the basics.

that's one way i've been using the foam gun for years (one advantage it has over the foam cannon), and not just only for a pre-soak like most do which is a waste and not utilizing the tool to it's fullest potential. the only thing i don't care for is the kind of synthetic mitt he's using, i would rather use a sheepsking mitt and/or grout sponge...

I agree the only downfalls to this video are that the tools he is using are worn out, and the body mitt is not what I would consider quality. The techniques he uses and advice he gives are spot-on. I like to wash clay and dry the body first, then do the wheels but that's just my preference and definitely not the norm.
