Then I do the tires and rims. All of the time, I keep the entire car wet, never letting one spot dry. Then dry whole sections at a time.

The lengths I go to to avoid water spots and swirl marks. I also soap in linear movements oppose to circular.

Tack on another hour or two if I wax because, I wax panel by panel as well, then re-rinse to negate the static made by waxing, and re-dry.

That's so overkill Sometimes I detail my car like that but I can wash the exterior of my car better than those autowashes in 20 minutes.
