For the past three years, I have used Pinnacle Liquid Gloss Rinseless Wash with Carnauba with a dozen Supreme 530 Microfiber towels.
Now, I am back to the two bucket wash method with Chemical Guys HoneyDew Snow Foam.
Instead of using a bone wash sponge or Gold Plush Micro-Chenille Wash Mitt, I was thinking continue using my Supreme 530 Microfiber towels.
Same wipe, flip, wipe, flip, only using one wipe per side, wash method.
Rise off the vehicle at the end.
Any harm or thoughts in that?

C5 Black Corvette is the vehicle and easily gets water spots due to the temperature of the paint surface.
 
I think that's a fine idea, but what's the second bucket for?

And, I don't think that will solve your problem with water spots.

Washing and drying a section as you go. Use lower pressure water flow to avoid splashing and re drying.
 
To aid in the avoidance of water spots, wash in the early morning or evening as the sun is setting. Hard water can add to water spots. One could purchase an in line water filter

I've successfully used MF-towels to wash
vehicles many, many times.
However: If the latter of the car-washing
processes you listed above doesn't work
out, (or meet your expectations)...then:

Going back to the car washing process that,
evidently, served you so well for the past
three years is, IMO: the most obvious of
directions to take.

I've done traditional soap washes using microfibers. Same theory as the gary dean method. You don't need that second bucket
 
After 3 yrs of good use I'd demote those towels to door jamb status or similar jobs.. For just over $25 you can get 5 Megs Microbiber wash mitts. You never know how good new wash media feels until you buy some again.. There's a nice difference between the new compared to yrs old microfibers.

All good. I no longer soak the MF towels in the bucket but rather. Just store the solution (I use ONR) in th bucket then when ready put the clean MF towel in and use one side per wipe. Honey Dew is awesome when using a pressure washer. Second bucket holds dirty towels. I agree in hot weather clean one panel at a time.
 
the megs microfiber mitts are great and are inexpensive...
 
if you apply force on the towel id imagine that would add swirls to the paint, image dust trapped under it and you are dragging the towel over the paint, it doesn't make sense to me ! anyways this is my opinion on this matter Id keep towels only for drying, I don't even believe in waterless or rinse free methods, the least method I may consider is two bucket method with this mitt:
Aussie Merino Wool Wash Mitt

good luck figuring it out the way it suits u best...
 
Garry Dean method with traditional wash works well. Safer than 2 bucket wash IMO.
 
Thanks everyone for the responses. I will move forward with the GDWM and CG Honey Dew.
