Wheel Woolies used to agitate the tough brake dust and salt
Rinse
Adam's APC plus Adam's Car Wash (4oz/4oz/balance water) use to cut out all the salt and dirt off the car (it can and will strip last steps)

Shake well
Nice thick foam
After foaming we used an Uber Wool Wash Mitt to wash the car
Rinse
Beading shot of Sonax Polymer Net Shield - this was the test spot from 2 months back I did on the trunk deck - this was beading after the wash/apc mixture.

After - not many afters getting dark
