Have to be careful on a dry wipe -- It will leave swirl and marrs for sure in the paint. (Visible in sunlight and halogen). It would be better not to touch the car at all rather than wipe it down dry.

A no rinse product like ONR, or even ample Quick Detailer with a MF would be ok for the wipe down of the vehicle.. Though I don't see how 'not' washing keeps the paint fresh?

Don't see the logic. You aren't removing paint when washing, and you aren't removing the sealant.. provided you competently buy your products. Also it is important to invest in the best wash applicators (mitts and whatnot) that will not scratch/micro swirl the car.. very easy to do.. and it adds up with multiple washes. Equally important is investing in top of the line Microfiber Waffleweave type of towels to dry with. Unless you dry through pressurized air.

Only thing that is removing paint is a RO, Rotary, or Wetsanding.
