Just got back in from detailing. I have the routine down pretty much to a science; takes me about 3 hours (not including time to dry top).
I wash with Lambs wool mitt and regular dish detergent (except 303 Cleaner on the top).
I dry with a chamois.
Meguiar's and Plexus on the back window and lights.
303 Protectant on the top.
Polyclays and window cleaner on the windshield.
After all that, I "pre-finish" the body with something called "No-wet".
I follow with Polyclays and "No-wet" to finish.
Also, get my stuff from Classic Motoring Accessories. I only use micro fiber towels (the brand is called Viper I think) to detail. I don't use any type of true wax.
I'll try and show you pix assuming I got the link right. Daytime pix are from a few weeks ago. Night time pix are from today. Hopefully, there's enough detail to get an idea.

I use it everytime I buy a car to strip off all the crudy but strong wax the dealers use.

[B]I wouldn't let terry cotton towels touch anything but my engine bay. Even if they say 100% cotton. Run that towel over lexan or a piece of plastic and it will scratch the crap out of it.
I respect all the positive comments on mf, but why is it that Zaino is so hung up on using 100% cotton expensive Cannon or Fieldcrest towels???
