Recommended by my detailer and have worked thus far to keep me scratch free. No wax, I use optiseal in its place. Not sure if any of you are interested but here is the list. Also I have tried almost every tire shine out there and every one of them slings with the exception of the one from Adams. It was put on my car last tech day and has had 0 sling. I will know for sure when I wash it again but as of now no sling. All products were purchased from proper auto care.

How to No Rinse your car
Still use 2 buckets. Dip sponge into soap bucket. Squeeze sponge over panel your about to wash. Dip sponge back into soap bucket. Wipe in straight lines, don’t go side to side (ignore that part of the video). Work from top to bottom. IE For the roof, hood, trunk wipe from rear to front. For doors and fenders wipe from top to bottom. Do one panel at a time then lay your drying towel open on the area you wish to dry and pat dry. Do NOT drag your drying towel across your paint.

Here was what my car use to look like. TONS of micro scratches though you would never notice unless you really looked. Looks horrible on the video.

Final Video, notice no micro scratches or anything. Notice the car has lightened up a couple shades.

For a normal wash with rinsing use the 2 bucket method in the same fashion except rinse before drying. 90+ percent of damage done to paint is self induced and can be prevented by simply washing your car in the appropriate manor and apply wax or sealant appropriately. When it comes to wax, less is better.
Another good video that shows how to wash good.
