something i learned is the importance of the pre-wash. try spraying as much dirt off the car with just water before you even touch it. that way when you finally make contact, hopefully 80% of the abrasive dirt is off the car already. spray it with water, let it sit/soak/soften, spray it again all with just water

Yea I definitely do a thorough pre-wash, typically after washing a panel with my sponge it'll still look clean. I wash it off regardless
I wash it as frequently as I do since my state has been in home lockdown for 100 days and I have nothing else to do, and I live near the beach where there's a lot of sand and wind so after a few days of driving my car gets a thin layer of dust particles that I always get the urge to wash off.
The contactless dryer is something i'm definitely interested in- just worried about the noise level and whether it'll ruin my paint. (Dedicated car drying machines I feel are safe, more so regarding conventional leaf blowers which I own but haven't wanted to risk trying out)
