Now to your reply and what you do, I will say this. The only part I disagree with is where you dry the car off, because no matter how much you pressure wash it, the car is still dirty. Not the kind of dirty that is easy to see, the kind of dirty that soaking and rinsing a car off ALWAYS leaves behind.
The ONLY way to remove ALL of the dirt film that is on a dirty car is to PHYSICALLY remove it with some type of HAND driven agitation.
Now to that statement, I will add this. My statement is ONLY for those who are anal about the condition of their paint, and who are willing to do everything necessary to prevent even the slightest bit of damage.
That is NOT everyone. For me, I only care about ONE of my cars. That is my show piece. If the other cars gets washed, it's because they got caught in the rain. So my mindset ONLY pertains to my show car. Being married, if I tried to maintain all of my cars the same way I maintain my show car, I wouldn't still be married. You said that it takes you 4-hours to wash all of your cars. It takes me that long just to do one.
If it wasn't for sex, I probably wouldn't leave the garage. That's about the only thing that will make me leave my cars alone.
