I enjoy washing my car, so here's a website about it.  The purpose of it is not only an excercise for my camera, but also to spread ideas around for a quick but effective way to wash and polish your car.

Here's my list of steps when washing my car:

1. Wash window interiors (partially rolled down and rolled up)
2. Clean all door jambs and kick plates
3. Wipe down vinyl surfaces
4. Address any other interior cleaning needs
5. Wipe down and leather condition seats
6. Vacuum, hose down, shampoo, and rinse floor mats. Hang to dry
7. Vacuum floor
8. Blow down engine compartment and wipe surfaces
9. Clean hood/body contact areas
10. Clean trunk/body contact areas
11. Clean exhaust tips
12. Apply bug and tar remover to all affected areas and wait a few minutes
13. Clean bug and tar remover with wet sponge and rinse, scrub license plates
14. Clean window exteriors of dirt and bugs
15. Clean windshield wipers
16. Wet and scrub wheel wells and mud guards
17. Lightly scrub undersides of doors
18. Scrub undersides of side sills
19. Clean wheels and tires
20. Clean out windshield wiper base area
21. For each section of car washed, thoroughly wet and wash
22. Wash windows and side mirrors as well
23. Open doors, hood, and trunk and dry all contact areas with towel
24. Use California squeegee to dry large wet areas
25. Use Absorber cloth for window details and then body details
26. Use towel for drying any potentially dirty or rough surfaces (license plates, undersides of side sills)
27. Attempt to remove water from inside door handles
28. Apply Rain-X to all windows, one side at a time (windshield, rear window, door windows)
29. Apply car polish to entire car, let dry
30. Remove car polish

I won't do every item every time (such as Rain-X or Polish), but it's a good work flow in terms of going over overspray (like doing interior vinyl after interior glass) and for saving time (like doing Rain-X before polish to allow for extra drying time).
