Feel a bit silly putting this topic together, but, which products and methods do you prefer to wash/detail your vehicle (exterior)?

One can really get in the weeds of the detailing world, and I recall seeing some very impressive detailing setup photos from 4R6G users, so I'm sure there's a wealth of knowledge in here.

I used to be a rinseless/ONR user in the past, but I am thinking of moving away from this method. My 4R has a ceramic coating, so I'm thinking of going the 2-bucket method, buying some grit guards and soap (not sure of brand), maybe a foam cannon attachment to a garden hose (not sure of brand or product here either), along with some fresh microfibre towels.

What say you? Looking for the most simple and effective method that will get 90%+ of the results without 1,000 steps and products.

For a home setup,

Rinse , Adam’s Mega Foam Car Wash, Adam's Polishes Car Wash Shampoo,

3 bucket system with grit guard, one bucket for Adam's Polishes car wash shampoo paint body only, one for car wash mitt (rinse only), and last bucket for wheels only.

Rinse off and dry with dedicated towels.

there are other methods that are more meticulous, but this method works for me and doesn't take hours to complete.
