But as I said, if that is working for you bravo!

Goes to show, everybody's got their own way of doing it. You gotta go with what you know. Just so long as you're not grinding dirt into the paint.
Always keep the shine in your life.

I read it that he just uses water because as he says it clings to the paint instead of 114 running down and he only uses 114 for bugs

That's for the pre-spray part, we're talking about the bucket part.

Oh . Yeah hes gotta be using some kind of product. If he isn't, I'd like to see the car in person to believe theres no scratches

Oh man my method is way overkill.
1. Presoak with regular ONR at QD dilution
2. 2 gallons of ONRWW solution. 12 edgeless plush MF towels. GD method.
3. I wash the whole car I don't dry at all yet to prevent cross contamination of my drying towels.
4. Presoak again with ONRWW at QD dilution and spritz a little OCW on top.
5. Gently wipe away and buff with 530 GSM MF. 10 in total.
6. Do wheels and door jambs with cheap Costco MF and leftover ONRWW solution. Sometimes presoak wheels with Optimum-Clean if very dirty.
7. Clean glass with Invisible Glass and clean surgical towels.
I know it's crazy and it takes me like 2 hours but I'm just a hobbyist and this method has kept the marring down to almost nil. The notoriously soft Shadowline black trim on my BMW is still pristine so I am confident in my technique.

Thank you for showing your technique. IMO very sound.

I use about 1-1/2 qts of water (distilled water even better) in the bucket with the towels. The MF towels soak all of the water up. I actualy squeeze most the water out the MF towels before using them. So no D114 in the bucket. I was surpriised how good just plain old water is. Originally I did put D114 diluted 128:1 in the bucket but I found that plain water works fine. That is the fun of this just trying and comparing different products and different techniques. Starting on a small panel before using it on the entire car.

Re: Four step rinseless wash
Am I reading the steps correctly? You are washing the car with plain water only and not using a Rinseless Wash product?

Re: Four step rinseless wash
Just an FYI...when dealing with tar or those black stringy like marks that get onto the rocker panel that usually fly off the wheel, I use a paint prep spray. This is like using an IPA. It kills tar in one wipe. Final Kleen is good stuff. Paint thinner too.
