What all products, techniques or tips do y’all use for washing the car at home. New Tesla owner here wanting to do some self care of the car. TIA.

I’m currently washing my car using the 2 bucket method (one clean bucket, one with dirty water) using Adam’s car wash shampoo and a pair of car wash mittens.

It does a great job but it’s awfully long (pre rinse, foam, rub and clean gloves, rinse again, dry with microfiber). Usually can take me a good hour including setup and cleanup so I barely wash by hand anymore.

Looking to avoid the automatic car wash (big lines and not great around me), for something much quicker even if not as good (10-20 mins) would be a sweet spot. Wondering if I should switch to a single bucket and use a long car wash mop/sponge, or switch to waterless spray and rub with a towel, or another method.

What do you recommend?

I’m trying to see how many miles I drove last month and each month this year. Does the car or app keep track of that? TIA
