After my prewash on the last correction/coating job I did, I saved the wash buckets. I wanted to see how much dirt was in the buckets. The vehicle was a new 2014 Ford Explorer EcoBoost Limited w/ approx 3k miles on it.
I did my normal prewash w/ car shampoo, dawn and APC using a Microfiber Madness Incredimitt with Grit Guards in the bottom of the buckets.
I let the buckets sit afterwards and had forgot about them till tonight. After I dumped the rinse(clean water)bucket out I remembered I wanted to take some pics.

This is the soap/water bucket

This is the water only rinse bucket

All of the dirt at the bottom of the rinse bucket did not have a chance to marr or scratch the paint.
If you aren't using the two bucket wash method you should. If you don't know what it is ask me, Corey or any one of our professional detailers on the board.
Love your paint!
