Basically the two bucket method with a off the shelf wash and wax (Some crappy brand). Then dry with a synthetic chamois.
Been to lazy to do any correction!
I was my car with this:

and apply with this:

And chamois it down dry.
I then wax the car with:

Once over with a microfiber cloth, and they over the car again until the wax is dry with another micrfiber cloth.
I wet the car with a hose. Wash roof, boot, and hood with a sponge and auto glym car shampoo. Rinse off. Wash sides of car to the moldings next then rinse. Wash from moldings to side skirts next. Last of all the rims. This way you don't pick up road grime and scratch any upper surfaces.. Rinse again, then chamois dry. Hit it with Auto Glym high resin polish, finally Meguires Carruba wax twice :) job done
I wait for it to rain then quickly park the car outside
my cousins fiance owns zoom carwash on canterbury rd so i just take it down there and do it myself using his equipment takes about 5-10 minutes then the workers dry it and clean inside.
two bucket method.
rinse section to be washed with hose; soap up with car shampoo; rinse and repeat for all panels. starting from roof > bottom. after all sections done, i use a chamois to dry it.
i do my alloys first, and wheel arches first.
i have been thinking of using a water blade as it seems like a lot faster way to dry the car.
thanks for the heads up. was thinking of opening a car detailing yard (operate from home) to supplement my income. since shifts at work are slow, and my personal project is slowing down.
Hi just a question,
I bought some Autoglym paint renovator. I was planning to remove the spider webs and craters I got in my paint.
I did it by hand, and there was little effect. I gave it a good whack. Then with the resin polish, extra gloss protection then wax.
Am I missing something?
