I have been washing a brand new mustang for over 4 years now with this method
Paint looks perfect- ZERO swirling-- ZERO

Re: Doing a traditional wash with microfiber towels
different gsm for different processes- for washing you want more gsm- not a lower count or nap
THICK & fluffie

Plenty of times, but really only if pressure wash (or really rinse) and foam first.

I’ve read multiple times your wash method and I can kind of visualize it but would really like to see it in a video format one day. Probably the most fool proof method I’ve ever heard of or read.

Re: Doing a traditional wash with microfiber towels
Maybe one day I can do A video but probably not any time soon. I don't even have a YouTube channel. The most important part of this method that I learned from Accumulator on Autopia is to constantly spray the paint with the foam gun while you whisk with the Mitt or the Towel in short strokes.

I use 400-500 gsm. Good amount of fluffiness without getting too heavy when soaking wet IMHO.

Fly,
I think this is the method Bill is referring to but with multiple mitts...
Bill,
Please correct me if I am wrong. I did this as well when I had my soft jet black 3 series.

That video is gold. It’s the first time I’ve seen a demo of the foam gun used the way I do. Keep this for reference
