Great tips from everyone here.
For those who cannot wash their vehicles where they reside , like my situation.
This is what i have come up with. I love washing my cars. It’s just a different feel to walk up to a nice clean car.

I utilize a 24 hour self car wash place since we’re not allowed to wash cars where I reside ( ecological preserve , hence no chemicals can be dumped into the ground)

1. Iron and fallout remover sprayed onto the wheels ( regular spray cannon from home depot)

2. While that sits and does its thing I prep the buckets ( 3 in total)

3. The wheel and tire bucket gets the Gtechniq ceramic g wash to add some slickness and hydrophobic properties to the wheels.

4. Spray on the gyeon tire cleaner and agitate.
Clean the spokes etc using a flat Wooly and detail brush.

Once completed, pressure wash the wheels along with the car top to bottom.

5. I have the Ik e foam pro 12. 1:40 dilution. Gtecniq citrus foam.
First spray and let it sit. Pressure wash to remove the media.

6. Second foam spray ( one fill will last two full sprays)

7. Once that sits for a bit, wash buckets used ( 2)
The usual 2 bucket method. ( gtechniq ceramic G wash as the washing aid)

8. Once done with that spray it down and use the facilities blower ( it’s actually nice)

9. Clean the wheels ( becaue brake dust lol) ( dry and dressing etc) chemical guys tire shine

10 dry off the car gyeon micro fiber towel

11. Every 4 washes or so I do a Gtechniq ceramic sealant just to protect it better.

Clean the glass and done.

I have to do this late at night since the place prohibits bucket washing when people are waiting.

car has full front + rocker panels + luggage strip PPF

Full exterior ceramic coat.

hope this helps. I generally take around 2 hours to wash it. but I also take my time with things. I could probably get it done quicker but I’m generally not in a hurry when I wash my cars
