I would use IPA, not wash. I'm assuming that's what the OP is doing. He says that he is sure the finish is clean before going back over the dust created from other sections. EG

Re: Tough Water Spots...Update After receiving my AG package, I moved up to Megs 105 with an orange pad. Still not enough of a change. Went to yellow pad, which helped some. Ultimately ended up with the XMT #4 on a yellow pad. I went over the entire hood at least twice and ended up with a nice...

This. ^^ Surely the dust isn't causing any scars that the 205 won't take out? The scratches just have to be gone after the last step. IMHO, washing is un-necessary work that carries its own risks of marring. EG

You can get an E9X without all the techno gizmos I mentioned, but you can't get it, or any BMW as far as I know, without the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC).

I've just recently begun my foray into semi-serious auto detailing with the purchase of a black sapphire metallic 335xi. (My last car was white.) I first picked up a few cheap microfiber towels from Target, and I've since bought several different microfiber products from AG. The cheapies have...
