The most important things are a proper sponge, soap and drying towel. I recommend:

I'll rinse the car with a high pressure washer, then cover in foam. While that is left to dwell I clean the wheels (using a separate bucket and wash mitt.)
Then rinse off the car, then wash with the two bucket method.
Then dry off carefully using a large waffle weave drying towel and quick detailer.
The crazy thing is, the car still has scratches and swirls.
Some things are just inevitable I guess.
