Hi, Thank you for taking time and posting up the video. I wanted to say though if you have a black car and really want to avoid any swirl marks or at least reduce the chance of swirl marks... don't do what you show in the video.
If you want to use optimum ONR, then look up Garry Dean wash method and only do a single pass. The fact that you are rubbing back and forth and overlapping the pick up of dirt is not good practice for pro level washing. Synopsis for Garry Dean wash method is two buckets. One bucket soaked with clean towels soaked in ONR and the other bucket is to hold the dirty towels. Use only one pass on the dirty panels.
The other option that I use is waterless with high end MF towels. I use Meguiars D115 rinsefree and wax. I mix the solution with distilled water and spray the panel and wipe down in one direction...if it's extra dirty I go several passes with clean towels or use ONR and use the Garry Dean method. The nice thing is the car is clean and waxed at one time...no need for extra polishing and extra chances of marring the paint. It's a bit scary at first to use rinsefree (waterless), but once you get the hang of it...hardly any chance of scratching even the soft paint on these 86 cars. I've had my car for a year now and hardly any swirl marks...the bird and bee poop does far more damage...even with Opti coat. I recently got PPF on the front clip of the car that I will post a review on. I hope that helps.
Finally...I had a black Z4MR and using the method you described...I had a lot of scratches...the BRZ has hardly any and it's also about the same time or faster than what you posted.
P.s. one last note...even if I use ONR rinseless...I still use Distilled water... I hate water mark and it will etch the paint if you miss a spot. Hard water sucks. A whole car takes about 8 oz for me since I'm so liberal on waterless wipe down. Nice and shiny and well lubed while picking up dirt.
