Cotton wash mitt. Start on the roof and windows down to the door panel, then rinse. Hit the hood and start around the sides, rinse about 1/2 way through depending on sun. Rinse whole car again. Trunk and other side, rinse whole car again. Then wash two wheels, start at valve and do each gap, rub the tire itself, even wipe down the inner edge of the wheel well, rinse whole car again, then finish the last two tires, rinse whole car AGAIN. Fast down the driveway, hit the breaks, then back into the carport to dry. Chamios, open each door as I go by (help hear tunes) then trunk and hood edges. Finish on the rims. Ring out the chamois and put it in the trunk then go for a little cruise. When you get back home or stop somewhere, a final wipe with the chamois to get any last drops that the wind blew out.
Right now I use Maguires Gold class, the Zaino pack should arrive today.
For bugs, once you get the first coat of them off and it is TOTALLY clean, apply (insert wax of your choice) and then they come off so much easier.
