I think your technique is great and will give the best possible result. I just feel like this system is designed for efficiency. It is geared toward professional detailers that are trying to bust out cars quickly. By cleaning every other you still get great results and allow for some improved efficiency.
Exactly, that's why I clean after every cycle.
I hear ya Kev. :dblthumb2: I guess I'm just anal and like to get the BEST results possible, but I see where you're coming from about production detailing.
I am not a production detailer. I am a hobbyist with very little spare time. I dont cut corners as a rule. But, I do want to maximize my time. I do have the luxury of a white paint that will hide any imperfections. The car I learned this system on though, is a dark blue Mustang. I could not find a swirl on it when I finished. There were a few RIDS that did not work out easily. I even went back over some of them with 105/orange CCS and still had trouble removing them (in other words deep RIDS).I hear ya Kev. :dblthumb2: I guess I'm just anal and like to get the BEST results possible, but I see where you're coming from about production detailing.
I know you're not a production detailer.

Painted plastic bumpers?
None of my car is metal. The front fenders are carbon fiber, the front and rear fascias(bumpers) are plastic, and the rest of the car is fiberglass composite. So, yes, you can.
AS Mark is clarifying, painted plastic is fine. It is the same paint that is on the metal. Assuming it is factory paint, it should be similar thickness.
