That said, I just bought enough MF towels to do a wash without reusing any. Little more expensive at first, but cheap (!) compared to the trouble of having to polish again.

If it is very dirty, the best thing would be to take it through a touchless wash first, then come home and do a rinseless.

My big box o' detailing crap showed up from Autopia, and I realized I forgot to add a nanoskin thingy. Amazon prime to the rescue.
Going to practice on a car with less than perfect paint and see how that goes. Only change to the procedure will be Meguiar's compound and then the polish. Have the griots polisher but haven't tried it yet. Looking forward to the first nice weather weekend...

Oh, cool. I kept thinking the compound was somehow more abrasive and needed the polish to take out the last of the tiny scratches left from the compound. That's a major time saver.

Oh that stinks. I would try one of Glen's suggestions, one bucket, bunch of clean MF towels and some good soap with polymers in it in the bucket. Lessens the chances of scratches.

But do not use a rinseless product if you are gonna wash with hose and multi towels, use a normal car wash soap.
