I see the value in foaming first and dwelling before the actual first rinse. A similar concept of lots of detailers using a persoak. A presoak is the very first thing to hit the paint, before any pre rinse. I’m seeing this becoming the norm more and more.
I’m also more OCD about this now as black raven (GM) is a uni, so no metallic to hide imperfections.
I will say, I only do this prefoam when the car is heavily soiled. 2+ weeks no wash, daily use.

Yeah, I kinda forgot about that conversation and your comment just reminded me of it, maybe I should ask them for clarification.
On top of potential damages from the initial rinsing with a pressure washer, if any, I suppose the water will also dilute the foam a bit to make the the first dwelling less effective. Although I’ve also read elsewhere that the foam typically doesn’t do much work at all just sitting on top of the paint without any contact washing. I guess it still helps in cases where the car is heavily soiled.
I feel like metallic black is already painful to maintain for a constant clean appearance, is uni finish worse? You can’t even pretend the dusts are glitters 🫣😂
