I will say this. It takes me 2 hours to do a quikie wash on my car, and 3 hours if I take my time and pay attention to detail. I take clean to a whole new level and I take major pride in the finished results. If I watched a lot of people wash their cars, I could find all kinds of dirt on the car afterwards so don't think that how long it takes you is wrong because of the replies in this thread. You are probably just more thorough than most.
I think you might be VERY right about that Junkman! My comment, with regard to the foam gun, was not with respect to your how or why but more to the methodology of getting good sudsy foam on the car all at once.

My typical procedure for washing the car first includes a thorough rinse, but for each section that I wash..the section of interest receives another rinse before getting washed. This section then also gets completely rinsed once more after being washed. After the entire car is washed I complete another thorough rinse, then leaf blower dry and a QD.

I am aware that you like to use the foam gun after a thorough rinse to place a lubricating layer of suds down that will further assist in removing dirt.

My thought was to use the foam gun after a complete rinse, and then go directly to a wash of the entire car followed by a thorough rinse of the entire car prior to leaf blower dry and QD.

What say you?
