Waterless washing equals scratches, there is no way you can just spray on a product and wipe away the grime, using water and 2 bucket method etc ensures that the body is constantly lubricated.

Even when I use ONR, I use the two bucket method. As someone else mentioned, I don't use it for a full wash either. Its a great maintenance wash solution though. I feel that it doesn't lubricate as well as an actual shampoo do to safely remove larger particles. But ONR still has a place on my wash supply shelf.

2 bucket, foam cannon whole 9 as track warrior and others. I also ensure a large stock of good quality Microfiber towels and also clean them with microfiber specific wash solution which IMO is important. Recently bought a 8hp blower with heat option was a nice purchase that works amazing dont even touch care really on the drying process much.

How well does the heat on the blower work? I use a blower as well. Only time a towel touches my car is when I polish/wax it.

Can you connect the Gilmore foam gun to a pressure washer or can it only handle a standards hose?

I think the PSI range for the Gilmore is 40-60psi. I'm sure it might work on a PW (assuming you have the proper threads/connections) but, I'd have to assume that it wouldn't be nearly as effective as a foam gun designed specifically for a PW...surely the internals are different.

Had my FR-S for a week now and it's about time for the first wash (especially after it rained here today). I had never really given much thought to washing cars until owning the FR-S which brought me here. This will be my first attempt ever (and I'm 36) at washing a car correctly (will use 2bm). Thanks to the great advice and vids posted here I feel like I'm prepared. Bought a bucket of all the assorted meguiars washing soaps/quik wax, etc. My question is about the use of a leaf blower. Does anyone find that it blows dust back onto the wet car? I do have a garage, but even that is probably plenty dusty inside.
