    Looks great.

    I noticed that you always do a preWash with W99.

    Do you:
    - spray the car down (when its dry) with W99
    - dwell, rinse
    - wash with soap

    Or do you spray it with the W99 (when it's dry), then hand wash the car without soap? And just using W99?

    I'm just trying to find different techniques to prep the car that I work on.

    I put w99 in the cam spray foamer attachment and it does all the work.

    I let it dwell and then proceed to spray off then wash.
