Car wash and Wax
fliesitdies:
As mentioned Griots garage products are great. I use Meguiars soap and Griots wax. Here's a tip how to remove Pitch, Sap, or anything else that sticks to your vehicle. Rub a little Butter on it and it will come right off.

Not having to dry off the car to minimize water spots would be a plus.
Thanks Jamie

It kind of works just the opposite of what you think. A vehicle that is waxed well or has been ceramic coated the water beads up and tends to water spot worse then a vehicle that hasn't because with the no waxed vehicle the water kind of runs off in sheets. If it's a vehicle that gets washed or rained on and just sits it tends to water spot less then the waxed one. Now if both get driven and has air flow over it the waxed up one the water blows off so much easier/faster.
I washed my wife's car and my truck this week. Wife's car has been ceramic coated but I haven't had my truck done yet. The water beads up instantly on her car and blows off slick as he11 with the leaf blower and barely needs more then a hand towel to finish drying it. With my truck it's like I'm blowing glue off of it not water.
It's not cheap but if you like having your vehicles clean and looking good have them professionally ceramic coated it's money well spent. The DIY ceramic sprays work ok-ish but you have to keep reapplying them on a regular basis where as with the professionally done ceramic coating it keeps that slick surface for years.

I've heard that people do that...only seen the wife do anything like that around our house. Once or twice a year for the car, maybe once a year for the truck. It has to be during the rainy time of year...need to soften up the dirt that's on it if you want to get it somewhat clean.

Dawn dish soap works fine, but I'm not washing anything fancy.

If you’re washing anything with paint on it, you should stay away from the dish soap.
