Wash the car with any soap you want but the trick is detail spray. I was my car with meguires as well but I just let it dry however. Same company offers a detail/touch up wash that you spray on car wipe in then towel it dry. Takes away any and all spots. Can't remember exact name but the stuff is awesome. If your car still fairly clean you can just spray it down let it dry and hit with that stuff and it makes it look beautiful

The last time I washed I ended up drying with detail spray. It helped with the water spots a lot.

I don't know how long it takes other people and it doesn't really matter to me but today I washed my wife's Mercedes-Benz SLK350 that was coated with BLACKFIRE Crystal Coat Paint Coating back in September and I think this is only the 3rd time it's been washed.

I always use a foam gun when I wash her car or my truck and I have the washing and drying process down to less than 30 minutes and that includes wheels and tires.

Nick took a few shots of me foaming the car after I had washed the wheels and tires
car detailing gaithersburg md, I always start at the wheels and tires and then move to the top of the car and work my way down.

I use the Gentle Approach to washing a car and this means I made ONE PASS over each section of paint as I wash each panel and then rinse as this is the careful way to avoid scratching your own car when you wash it.

Here's some pictures to tell the rest of the story...
