My washing strategy is something like:
-Always rinse your vehicle off before washing it to remove any loose dirt and debris first.
-Use snowfoam if you have a pressure washer to further aid this process and reduce any damage from a contact wash.
- Apply/spray an APC (all purpose cleaner to areas with stubborn dirt to help removal) leave this a few mintues to work prior to using a wash mitt
- Use wash mitt (and either the 2 bucket method, or 1 bucket with a grit guard) to wash vehicle top to bottom - swapping mitts from the top half to the lower dirty half (sills and lower bumpers, and another sponge/brushes for the wheels)
- rinse after washing
- dry
- apply any products to seal the paintwork
