Thanks for the video, but please allow me to add some "improvements":
1. Using high pressure water can get water into places it doesn't belong. Why? Can manufacturers use thinner and smaller gaskets to save weight and $. I use a hose without a nozzle and let the water cascade down the car.
2. I use the mildest products that can do the job. I clean the wheels with Meguirs car wash and a foam/mesh scrubbie. I wash the car with a mild shampoo designed for car paint.
3. I always use the 2 bucket method. The first bucket has the soapy water and the second, a 5 gallon contractor bucket, contains water. I rinse the microfiber wash mitt in water to get the particles out of the mitt. This prevents microscratches/swirls in the paint.
4. I use 100% cotton towels to dry my car. I drag the towel across horizontal surfaces, basically extering no pressure. I apply light pressure on vertical surfaces.

JMHO
