If you care about your paint, always wash your car with two buckets. One bucket for the soap, another with just water to rinse off your mitt after you wash each section. Of course you could go hardcore and get a foam sprayer.

Some of my favorite easy detailing products:

F11 TopCoat - easy to apply, makes your paint slick and very shiny, water beads off like crazy. Kinda expensive. I use this about every 3 months.

Turtle Wax Ice Spray Wax - not as good as F11 TopCoat, but very good for the price. I use this about once a month. Also very easy to apply. I put it on my wheels also. Helps keep brake dust from building up.

Mothers Speed Clay 2.0 - I use this a couple times a year. Makes your car very smooth, gets rid of grit on your paint. I use it with the Turtle Wax Ice Spray. Your paint needs to be lubricated when using it.

Rapid Dry Towel

I'm still searching for a good tire dressing. I want a medium amount of shine and no black dust sling on the fenders. I'm currently using Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel. It's good, but I do need to wipe off black dust sling every few days.

I've got a buffer and some waxes that you apply in 3 steps, but I don't use those as often as I should. Only once a year at the start of summer to get swirls and scratches off.

If you hate brake dust on your wheels like I do, I highly recommend Akebono ceramic brake pads. Very minimal brake dust.

Commercial car washes recycle the water or at least they used to. I presume they still do.
