…. Or would you ‘always’ rinse, foam, rinse, wash, rinse, dry….

Not used my foam yet and actually bought for a short-cut for washing the kids cars; but would you do the same on a Pork; if not heavily soiled?!

I don't dry - I rinse with resin-filtered water.

I don't use foam either, just suds with a 2-bucket routine.

Forgot to mention I use a Stihl cordless leaf blower to dry the underbonnet area when I wash it.

Rinse, foam/shampoo, rinse, aquawax (goes on wet), buff to dry.

Means I gotta go fill up the rinse bucket twice but eh, feels dirty going straight into the shampooing and also feels bad to leave that shampoo on the car.

Foam

Wait

Rinse

Two bucket wash

Rinse with softened water

Pat dry by laying Maguiers Water Magnet towels on surfaces

But

I usually do the wheels first, foam > wait > rinse > two bucket wash using wheel woolies > rinse
Then I blow dry(ish) after washing the car and rinsing the wheels again

Spyders are a sod to clean

If you already have cordless power tools, try and find a blower the same brand so you can use the batteries.
