I go to a wash center that's fully self-serve. They have do-it-yourself bays, and an automatic touchless wash. I pull into a self-serve, and give the car a very quick once-over, using my own brushes and such. I focus on spots the touchless wash has a hard time cleaning, which is the wheels, and the lower edge of the car. Then I pull thru the touchless wash. I then pull the car out, and dry it off with my own waffle-weave towels. Finally, I give it a quick once-over with a spray wax/polish that I have.

It's actually a very fast process. Not perfect, but I'm not quite as particular about this as some people are.
