Megs APC is very good, depends what you are using is for.

I recently got superb results on my PVC guttering at home the Bilberry!!!!

Bucket and sponge with a top car shampoo, then a leather down and occasional wax.

Keep pressure washers for rinsing only and then only from a metre or 2 away IMO.

Why are you using a leather youre just gonna screw your paintwork with it =/ this is what you want now a days

Dave some people think that snow foam is too abrasive for what it does and dont like to use it.

Megs apc is probably your best bet Or you could try http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/valeting-and-bulk/chemical-guys-maxi-suds-ii-1-gallon-/prod_443.html

Yes its difficult to use a bucket and sponge and chamois leather properly I guess....

There is NOTHING that gets close to a proper chamois, not even "nowadays" TBH, tried the microfibre cloths and the best I would say is they are no better. I have no scratches (from leathering) no swirls, no smearing, it just takes work and time to do it properly IMO.

Sonus De Wunder Waffle Weave towels are excellent, especially if used with a spritz of QD. Last much longer than a chamois too.

I was amased at how little damage it had actually done, until I got down to polishing it out for him, the paint was really hard.
