Impossible to do it properly in 15 minutes. It usually takes me at least an hour to wash from start to finish, including drying the car. Knowing how many hours it takes to correct the paint from bad car wash habbits, you realize that it's not that much more work to wash it properly and avoid swirl marks in the paint.

Takes me on avg about 1.5 to 2 hours to wash.

1. Pretreat wheels and bugs on bumper
2. Rinse
3. Foam gun
4. 2 bucket method with grit guards in both
5. Rinse spray
6. Rinse sheeting method
7. Dry with leaf blower
8. QD spray and wipe down

My wheels alone take over 15 min.

there are touch-less car washes...

yah, i use a shopvac in blower mode to get all the water out and stuff before i blot so the drying process itself takes like 15min. wash itself is probably 10-12min as i dont like leaving soap on the paint too long.

those only rid dust and remove your wax.

Stay away OP, unless you like scratches on your roof :(

Not to mention the special effort needed to get rid of all those especially stubborn specs .. i use a gentle polishing square pad to remove them by hand..
But it's all a labor of love and sure beats painting the house or cutting the damn grass!..

Agreed. After i get done washing the car, it gives me that feeling of badasery, and then eventually a bird comes and ***** on my parade.

Thats why i wash in my garage. No sun to worry about soap/water spots.. and no bird s***!
