Fist start off with a preliminary washing. I usually wash my car as soon as the sun go down. This way, your car is less likely to have spots due to premature drying. This was the regular soap/sponge wash. I then proceeded to do a second wash to make sure I got everything. I went as far as to use toothpicks and blue shop paper towels to clean in the smallest nooks and crannies such as those in and around the black grill. Make sure you wash out all the soap in the crevices where panels meet! I usually give a few extra seconds of water at the panel meet points and around light bulbs. It is important to keep your car wet until you are ready to dry the car with a towel or shammy. If water is left to air dry, it leave spots and residue. Think of how your car looks after it rains even if you haven't even drove anywhere. You get spots everywhere. As you dry you car off, make sure dry it off really well. Open doors, gas caps and all that. You don't want any water to air dry. It got dark after I was done so I waited 30 mins and then parked her in the garage. Reason why I didn't immediately park her in the garage is to allow as much water in un-wipeable areas to drip out/off the car as possible before I move.
