just all common sense.

working from the bottom of the car up is fine. you use fresh towels each time anyway,
and you dont worry about your clothes rubbing against the lower panels while reaching
your roof, etc and swirling the lower panels.
The bottom of the car collects 90% of the dirt. Have you ever seen a Magnetic Black car after driving in the rain?

It is NEVER a good idea to start at the bottom. Washing the car correctly always start from the top and work your way down. Why would you want to contaminate your bucket from the start?

The art behind detailing is doing it the right way. There is no short cuts in taking care of the paint. I do realize water restrictions play a roll, I guess it really depends on how contaminated the paint surface is.
