I power wash the car from top to bottom including the wheels and arches to get rid of all the dirt. (or normal hose if car not so dirty)
I then wash.... (2 bucket method and lambswool mitt)
roof and rinse
drivers side then rinse
front then rinse
passenger side then rinse
back then rinse.
I then dry the car from top to bottom with microfibre cloths.
once the car is dry I then wash the wheels and dry them.
I do it this way as I find by the time I get round the car, it has already started to dry.
This normally only takes about 30 to 40 mins.
I also won't wash the car any other way and if I see someone washing another car, I want to do it my way...
christ, this sounds completely anal..... and it prob is...
