Here's my carwashing process:
1. Spray car down
2. Scrub car using Armor-All soap (work from top of car down, then each wheel individually)
3. Rinse car
4. Spray tires with Armor-All Tire Foam
5. Dry car with chamois
6. Wash windows with Armor-All Auto Glass Cleaner
7. Polish black plastic with Armor-All Back to Black Polish
8. Spray tires with Armor-All Wet Shine
9. Cruise around in my immaculate car
I highly recommend the Armor-All Back to Black stuff. It makes side mirrors and side molding look shiny black again, really nice accent. It also works on tail lights. It's similar to a wax in that it fills small scratches. Be careful not to get it on your paint though.
I tried an absorber, but it didn't seem to work as well as a chamois. I even broke it in and tried it for four washings, but the chamois just worked better.
I polish once a year and wax at the beginning of spring and end of summer. Before you wax, wash your car with dish soap (I know everyone says not to) to remove any wax that is still on the paint. Then wash the car again with regular car washing soap. At this point you could use a clay bar if you are really picky (like me) then apply wax.
