Is the purpose of the foam gun to greatly reduce the risk of swirls/scratches when you wash?

I do the two-bucket wash with grates and use a microfiber mitt (all of which I got from Adams/Detailers Domain). I'm planning to get a blower/dryer so that I can avoid drying with a cloth. But I'm still paranoid about getting swirls/scratches even with the two-bucket method.

Would a pre-rinse with foam help?

Also, are you guys rinsing with water and then foaming, or just going straight to foam?

Thanks gents!
Yup. Here is one example with good explanation.
