I'm interested at this time in methods/opinions on basic washings. (If not willing to post due to fear of a heresy flaming, please PM me with your technique -- thanks!)

Go to the wash yourself type carwash -wash by hand when the carwash is not busy (have to have the soft water for final rinse)

Take along Meguairs gold car wash - do not use dish soap it strips your wax.
Have along you favorite microfiber or 100% cotton mit and towels - hint...this is no place to skimp, buy quality towels. (check out www.perfectautofinsh.com get a waffle weave drying towel and a couple of the microfiber polishing towels - you will not regret it)

Use any of the clay bars available- again Meguairs or Mothers as they are easy to find.
Use a good wax/polish sealer..Meguairs, NanoWax, I perfer Zaino.
Keep it looking good with Meguairs Ultimate detail spray.
Simple...
