Almost the exact same way i.e. after the exterior wash and dry and using the damp drying towel. That is on my cars...
Client cars, even regular customers who come often and not too bad, get an ONR spray and wipe down with MF towels. They arrive dirtier than my cars. ONR in a spray bottle...
Perfect! Thanks Mike. I see exactly what you mean. I just did a test on a practice panel out in the garage. Held a wool pad on my rotary flat and then lifted about 40°. While the "flat" section felt familiar it was much harder on the arms and shoulders. More muscle to control. More muscle...
Another superb vid, Mike. Thank you.
