Agree with the Gary Dean method, though it does use a massive amount of towel and product compare to traditional 2 bucket method.
The water at where I live is extremely corrosive and harsh, if I let it try on my car even on a non--sunny day, it will leave etches. Which means unless I don't drive the car before car wash (warm engine evaporate the water on hood) AND finding a spot that is completely sunless (which is almost impossible given I live in apartment) I am going to get a lot of water mark on my car.

The Gary Dean method is not perfect as well, do notice some very very fine scratches has occur after half a year of washing, but nothing too major, they don't even show up under fluorescent lighting, only shows up if i use the sun as the light source and look at my car at a very specific angle.
Hell..I am not sure if those fine scratches comes from me washing my car... it might be caused by other people simply walking/brushing against my car in parking lot
