Ill wash with 3 buckets, one with the shampoo in it, one to rinse and one to wash wheels. the ones with shampoo and rinse will have warm water in it, which i get from home and bring to them DIY carwash joints. Yeah i get weird looks, little asian guy bring soo much just to wash a car. So ill do it at like 6am, when theres no one around. LOL

Id recommend that when u get to car wash, do a prerinse, so thatd be a high pressure rinse which will remove the debris, then high pressure soap, this will ensure more of the dirt on the vehicles exterior surfaces is removed. let it sit for 2 mins. The surfaces are not clean but will appear cleaner as there is less dirt on the surfaces. The washing now removes what is left on the vehicle with minimal dirt being pushed into the painted surfaces greatly reducing the chance of causing swirls (micro scratches).
then rinse off then start washing.

Umm, as for waxes, not too sure on wats the best, atm im sorta being lazy and just using Optimum Car Wax aka OCW, its pretty good, quick n easy to use. luved by the guys at FI, though theres a few alternative ones like P21S 100 Carnauba Wax, P21S Concours Wax, or SwissVax Onyx. Thers a few other Swissvax ones, but u be asking 300 bucks just for a small tub. Umm Sealants, theres Zaino Z2pro, Zaino Z5pro and Zaino Z-CS.

mm yeah....time for maccas...

I onli go to the DIY washes so i can use their high pressure hoses, thats it. The rest i bring of my own.
