[QUOTE="Chris's FX4, post: 420605, member: 9104"] Depends on what you want to do or what works for you. 1. Foam, rinse, proceed with two bucket wash. 2. Foam, rinse, foam, proceed with two bucket wash. 3. Foam, rinse, foam, use the foam as your soap, use 1 bucket as a rinse bucket for the mitt and then apply foam to the mitt. 4. Foam, rinse, apply foam directly to the panel as your wash it, rinse bucket for the mitt and then apply foam to the mitt. There's a lot of different ways to go about using them. Rinse step isn't always necessary in some of them, depends on what you're working with. Basically foaming first loosens dirt and grime allowing it to easily rinse away compared to just using a water rinse first, as well as lubricating the paint right away. It makes washing easier as most of the heavy dirt and build up is already loosened or removed. The idea is to minimize the amount of "rubbing" or "scrubbing" with your wash mitt. I'll probably start using the technique in this video this summer. It starts around the 7:40 mark.
