There are 3 tips I've learned from the adams videos:
1) It's ok to let the soap dry on the car (if not in direct sunlight). Once u rinse it will come off. (I used to rush around rinsing and washing the car not letting anything dry).
2) If claying -- after you wash, instead of drying the car right away, mist the entire car with detail spray and then go straight to claying. The detail spray only leaves slight residue which comes off as you clay the car.
3) You can clay the entire car at once. As you clay, skip buffing the detail spray residue off. After you're done claying, wax over the detail spray residue. This way you're only buffing once. (Assuming no sunlight)

So you save lots of time by not drying and buffing multiple times... I'm not sure if you can do this with ALL brands. I have done this on my black Z with Adams and Griots and the results were awesome.
