Right now, if I go quickly, I can wash all three in about 2-3 hours. That's getting everything out, spray cannon (adam's soap), 2 bucket system (adam's), wheels (colortec felgenr.), spray, blower, and then drying agent wipe down.
Any of you switch to rinseless/waterless?
Treat things different if ppf vs a car that doesn't have ppf? Or matte vs gloss?
What's your favorite drying aid? Can you use a ceramic like product like Gyeon Wetcoat as a drying aid?
There's just so many big brands: Gyeon, Koch, ONR, carpro, adams, nanolex...
I know there are a ton of videos and this has been discussed tons of times before. Just wanted to get everyone's latest system/thoughts.

The system I use on SUV -
1. Jet wash to loosen surface crap
2. Apply APC to lower panels and wheels allowing to dwell for x mins, then jet wash off
3. Apply foam and leave to dwell for x mins, then jet wash off
4. Two bucket contact wash using microfibre pads, soft brushes etc and good shampoo
5. Jet wash
6. Wash down with deionised water.
7. Use blower to dry.
8. Apply maintenance product to ceramic coating
I do the gloss black wheels separately, as these take time to clean and maintain properly.
The products I use are largely from a UK company called Bilt Hamber, apart from the coating maintenance.
My favourite drying aid is this lol ��
