Shockwave- after you use the foam cannon do you just rinse off or do you massage/clean with microfiber sponge?

I have a really bad form of Auto OCD and have my own rituals with how i wash my cars. The car is fully wrapped with CGN and protected with Modesta Ceramic Coating.

Here are my steps for my monthly maintenance.

1. I do a very thorough rinsing with Tap water and my Pressure Washer. Once every 6 months i remove the wheels and wash the entire under carriage.

2. I Attach my Foam Cannon and blast away at the car. I use the Chemical Guys Maxi-Suds II. I also foam up the wheel wells, brakes and the under carriage.

3. With the Foam still on the car i proceed to washing her by hand. I use the German made "Incredi-Mitt" by Microfiber Madness. I have used many different pads and mitts and this one is the real deal. I also use Adam's Shampoo.

4. I attach the pressure washer and rinse away all the foam and soap.

5. I attach the CR Spotless System. It is a de-ionizer and removes all the metals within the tap water to provide that spotless shine. I rinse away all the remaining soap, foam and tap water.

6. I use a Microfiber Drying towel and attack the door, frunk and trunk jams. I also depending on my mood dry the rest of the car with another Microfiber drying towel.

My rituals and OCD practices have served me well... My cars are all swirl free. Im not quite as OCD as Matt Moreman (Obsessed Garage) but im close lol.

Took my second run of the Holiday weekend out the Ortega Hwy. early today. GT4 just loves to eat up the curves. Sounds great doing it! Well worth the early wake up call!

Mine is a twenty step process. Drop in 20 quarters and go. 😊

Unfortunately it's too low for the local drive through. So I have to go to one of the ones with the wand.
