I know this has been covered before.

However, I don't have 100% confidence in my wash technique. Are there any good youtube videos that cover proper washing?

I use two buckets, grit guards, etc. I Just want to make sure I'm doing this right. :dblthumb2:

Sounds like you have all the right equipment. Just be gentle and wash often.

I'm currently using chenille microfiber. Is lambswool better?

They both work and safe if used properly and in good condition. People debate the merits but it is more personal preference so just try both and decide for yourself.

I personally like the lambs wool better. I had MF mitts for a awhile and when I made the switch I was amazed. I let them sit in the soap bucket for about 5min before using, and they become super soft.

a quality wash "pad" makes a huge difference, makes the large flat panels enjoyable

There's a "how to" video floating around of a girl washing her car with a "magic eraser" and windex.

I'd avoid that method if I were you. ...just sayin'
