Yeah, what he said.

Lotta times what I'll do is to go ahead and get out the hose, but not to spray down the car thoroughly. I'll set the nozzle to a fine mist spray and point it up, so that the mist just sort of settles evenly on the surface of the car. Then I do the ONR (6 oz/gal water) treatment. In my experience, doesn't even really need a lot of drying, just a light buff with a clean soft towel.

Don't know if you have a garage, but if so, one of my favorite techniques is to use a rainy day to my advantage. (Especially if it's a light, misty rain.) I back the car out into the rain til it's lightly wetted down, then pull back into the garage. Then the ONR. Works great.

Following with the FK 425 is a really good way to go. Assuming the finish is in good shape (ie has been washed, clayed, sealed/waxed sometime in the recent past), you do the ONR and follow with the 425, it's amazing. You've never felt a smoother, silkier surface. Toss the buffing towel onto the hood, odds are it'll slide right off the car.
