First bath last night...took all of 10 minutes (did it at around 8:30 pm...not to sound like Whitey, but I was concerned about sunlight...)...quick light wash...nothing too detailed.

Used a splash of Rain X foaming wash...

...and a microfibre wash mit...

Any suggestions from the more senior members? Anything I should be cautious about?

Couple things to note:

Starlight black paint
Star shield
After rinse car beaded virtually perfect and uniform except in a small patch on front between headlights and vents on right side.

Took it for the obligatory air-dry ride...god I love this car.
