That guy is intense, knows his stuff for sure and that car came out fantastic. I've never cared too much about the chamois leaving swirls or stripping wax because, hell, if youre gonna go through all that trouble its not going to matter much anyway if you leave a few extra swirls
before you cut the sh*t out of the paint.
I'm skeptical about his comment regarding the waffle towel soaking up more water than a chamois, but then again, I've never tried one of those towels. Maybe have to check one out.
Eveything else he did though is very precise and smart. I usually do interior first so that after I've finished the exterior I'm not opening and closing doors and leaving fingerprints all over a fresh car. That and vacuum cleaners exhale a lot of sh*t and you'll see all your hard work covered with dust if you do int last. Then I move on to wheels and engine but never let the stuff sit for too long. The double bucket it seems like hardly anyone does but its so important. His 50/50 mix of alcohol is smart as is his wet sand technique but I wouldn't recommend that for beginners on that kind of a car.
Nice write up for sure.
Heres an 08 IS350 I did a few months back.
