Here's a wash method I have been using on my black 2010 recently that does not use the traditional 2 bucket method. Credit to Gary Dean in the video
Car is washed using microfiber towels, and final rinse is done with my CR Spotless Water Deionization System.
I will dry the roof, hood and trunk with microfiber towel by placing the towel on the car and patting the towel and then lifting the towel off the car. I let the vertical surfaces dry on their own and thanks to the CR Spotless Water Deionization System, no spots.
"No rubbing means no scratching"
Steps:
Rinse the car with water
I use a Gilmore foam gun ($45 bucks on eBay) with good quality car shampoo (I have been using Adams Shampoo) to saturate the car. Let stand 5 minutes.
During the standing time, fill your wash bucket with good quality car shampoo (Adams or - I am sure Gary's soap works good too, I just haven't tried it, yet.)
Place 6 microfiber towels in soapy bucket and let them soak.
Fold microfiber towel into 4, and use that towel until all 8 surfaces have been exhausted.
Go to next towel in bucket. Never put the soapy (dirty) microfiber back into the bucket.
Here's a link to the video about the no 2 bucket wash method. I would start watching at 7:40 in.
