Nice video. Now you're making me feel guilty about this winter. Where else am I going to wash it. I'm not leaving loads of salt on it, that can't be good for the paint.
This weekend definitely getting washed, clayed, and waxed.

i gotta be honest but ive used the brush several times and i know it does damage and i still do it. Now, i usually use one of those microfiber towels, but this is something to think about, good stuff

you need good selant as well before wax, just adds layer of protection.
get collonite 845 its sealing wax. its very durable, pretty easy to apply and take off, pretty cheap too $13 for bottle that will last forever if you just gona do your car

I'm afraid I'm in the same boat. I can't see myself doing the 2 bucket method with snow outside, car wash it is

Every time I have ever done the self car wash I pressure wash the brush before I use it. To me, that's just common sense. I need to wax and clay my car before it gets too cold. We do have a carwash near me though that does a really good job, and only hand dries with terry cloth's

best thing is not to dry it with anything except for water
second, dont matter if you pressure wash the brush, brush itself will scratch clear coat. specially as soft as ours. use wash mits and let car soak before you start washing it, rince it once. let it soak in, then rinse with jet or something to get main dirt off, then start washing, just make sure you have enough lubrication on washmit .
