I truly enjoy reading and looking at the pictures of all the excellent detail jobs posted here. For many years I would spend an entire day cleaning, waxing and interior detailing. Many of the waxes I used required doing no more than 1 square foot at a time for fear of never being able to remove the wax. Zymol comes to mind.
Now, at close to 70, I no longer have the energy or motivation. But I still like my cars to look like I spent the entire day!
My current technique is to run it through a local car wash. I have a monthly plan that allows for as many washes as I want. I usually do once a week. It is not brushless, but the brushes seem to be doing no harm when evaluating the finish closely. I finish with Turtle Wax Hybrid ceramic. Interior I use Griot interior cleaner. Entire process takes less than an hour. I only use the Turtle Wax twice a year. So far,
Not too bad for a 2015 seven year old finish. The car is garaged at night but out all day summer and winter.
