Simple and easy, this is what I do in Winter.

That's what I do, except I don't use their nasty sponges or brushes - that's just begging to get swirls all over your car. Dirt gets trapped in those things.

This is what I do. I've got it down to a science.
1. Bring a big bag full of microfibers and a wash bucket with a dirt catcher in the bottom.
2. Insert $5 and use the high pressure soap wash to take off as many bugs and debris as I can. Get the whole car soaked. Then before the time runs out, I fill up my bucket with the soap water, so that I don't have to keep inserting $$.
3. Wash the whole car by hand with the microfibers and get all of the dirt loosened up. This is the most time consuming step.
4. Put in another $5 and use the high pressure rinse to blast away all the soap and dirt.
5. Use a low pressure spot-free rinse to lightly coat the car before time runs out.
6. Use the remaining half of the microfibers to hand dry the car.
7. Open up the doors and hatch and clean all of the interior panels, which should already be somewhat wet.
8. Use a second bag to discard all of the wet and dirty microfibers for washing later.
9. Dump out the soap water in the bucket, pack up everything and drive away spotless.
