Yep, this also helps reduce the risk of swirls as the detail spray acts like a lubricant between the towel and the paint. Also, don't press down on the towel and use as little force as possible.

#2 - for superior streak free windows, spray product sparingly on to window, work over entire surface then with a second towel buff away.
