Makes sense.
This should be faster than the two bucket method as well. It takes time to wring the dirty mitt, grit guard it in the rinse bucket, wring it again, manually inspect for grit, then get more soap from the clean bucket. I'm all for making the process faster.
In the past I used a waterless and rinse-less process with ONR and Chemical Guys EcoSmart Waterless Wash and Wax. I had a few straight lines in the clear coat from pulling grit across the paint. It just takes a single piece of sand in the towel to cut into the clear coat. Doing a waterless wash during the Northeast winter was a risky proposition.
As I read it, the method you describe combines a pre-rinse like the two bucket approach with the single use towel from the waterless/rinse-less process. The method adds a spray-on sealant drying aid.
Combining the three gallon jug with de-ionized water and a battery washer-wand is intriguing. (No garden hose hook-up required.) Since your blower is battery powered as well, you don't need access to an electrical outlet when doing the wash.
I always find that the wheels are the toughest area to clean. I am paranoid about getting the wheel cleaning supplies anywhere near the body panel towels. Do you find that it is ok to wash the wheel towels with the body panel towels?
Do you have any suggestions for hand washing a car in the winter when the roads are covered with salt and sand?
