Alright friends, who can tell me what is the best way to wash your car.

I'm looking for a method that is time effective, easy, and minimize swirls or scratches on the car.

I'm currently looking into a product line called "Adams"

1) Foam Cannon + High Pressure spray down (If car is too dirty). Then 2 bucket method
2) Rinseless Wash (85% of the time, for bi weekly maintenance)
3) Waterless wash (for quick touch ups, on the go)

i just set my car outside when it rains, thats how i wash it

Watch some videos by AMMO NYC (good detailer)

I usually just use foam cannon and then give it a nice hand wash. Dry with a micro fiber towel (I haven't noticed swirls yet)

Try bath bombing

Either will work. I'm not a fan of waterless or rinse less washes on cars kept outside or daily drivers. They accumulate too much grit and road grime between washes. Since you had yours coated it is much less important honestly. You won't get swirls so long as you maintain the coating and have it reapplied when necesaary.

I use a foam gun from autogeek because I don't want to break out the pressure washer every time. I have good water pressure and a low mineral content.

Having own both, is one specifically better than the other based on your personal experience? Reason I'm asking is because Adam's is offering me a sponsorship program where they send me a gift card instead of a traditional assorted package to promote their product line on social media. Because I get to choose what I want to buy with that card, I want to make get the most out of it.

You make a solid point regarding the waterless/rinseless washes. I might have to stick to foam/spray off + 2 bucket method

Once everything is set up the cannon is faster and produces a smaller/denser suds. I find the foam gun to be sufficient for me. I use Pinnacle Bodywork shampoo which is very high lubricity and produces heavy suds.
