Wiping twice
I wipe down rinseless wash or QD with WW then wipe down with dry low nap towel to dry up streaks. Can the latter step be eliminated? If this step could be eliminated it would be so much faster to go over the car
if I buy the cr spotless system and mix my products with it would it still streak since its not just water

I'm surprised you're getting streaks with a rinseless; all I need is the WW and I'm good. What rinseless/towels are you using?

Re: Wiping twice
I assume you are using the "Garry Dean" method? If so, wring out one of the MF as dry as you can (use it for the whole car unless it gets dirty). So wipe a couple panels with the sopping wet MF, go over with the damp MF, then dry with a WW. If I don't do this, the WW gets too wet through the process. I suppose you could switch out your WW once or twice through the process and eliminate the damp MF middle step.

I think I understand what your saying but that's still the same isn't it. It's still 3 passes. Wet mitt or towel, then dry WW or wrung out WW then wipe with dry towel

I don't put to much pressure on the towel cause I'm afraid of scratching. Maybe that's why I'm getting streaks on the second wipe

Just what I have found that works with my ww is to spray the panel down then wipe clean with a ww towel then flip it to he other side and go back over the panel I then turn the towel back around and continue spraying the rest of the panels, this essentially keeps one side of the towel wet and the other side of the towel reasonably dry

The first part of my post, yes, the 2nd part I mention, to eliminate the middle step, would be to use one WW for the roof, hood, and trunk, get a new WW for the driver's side, then get a new WW for the passenger's side. So, if you have at least 3 WW's, I think this would probably work for you to eliminate one step.

I almost always have to wipe twice even with a dry towel. If not as soon as you pull the car into the sunlight theres the streaks
