Like the website http://sponge.strongwill.biz/ shows? I think the one with absorbent material will be better. It can deal with the spot easier. What kind of kits or sponges do you usually used?

Especially with my wife's car, <a href="http://www.2dolphins.com/caliente.html" title="Dede's VW New Beetle Convertible "Calinet"" rel="nofollow">Caliente</a>, we follow almost those exact steps using Meguaiars liquid soap. We only ever use the brush in the stall for a quick scrub to the undercarriage areas and to scrub the rubber floormats since they have really deep grooves that are hard to get into with just a towel. One additional step is that I use a long, tapered brush to scrub the interior portions of the wheels to remove brake dust and other gunk. I've found that getting that done during the wash makes the detailling after the fact go faster and is less of a mess. Really, the time required is not too much more than you'd spend waiting at a car wash and with a little practice, you can thoroughly clean a car with less than $5 in quarters and a little elbow grease.

One exception -- high pressure spray isn't really great for getting the rinsed water to bead off. It's also not good for paint. Great post.

I just don't have enough time or patience to put that much effort into ensuring a spot-free finish. Also, I live in the suburbs of Seattle, so no matter how spot-free you manage to get your paint, it will soon be rained on anyway.
