Very good. One thing I do as a detailer if you have a home or house that you turn off water outside so it doesn't freeze during winter and need to wash the car. This is what I do:

Go to a local do it yourself wash:
1:bring your own bucket with wash mit and soap (if you want you can fill it up with hot water before going)
2: bring drying towels.
3:bring detail spray
4: Brushes of your liking for whee wells and rims

ALSO NEVE USE THEIR BRUSHES ON YOUR PAINT!!!!!!!!

Start with getting car wet. If the place has the foam soap that shoots foam cover the car in it then wash with your bucket of water and soap. wash soap off with water and then sray detail spary and dry. I will post some pics of my process today as I am going to do that. Also this is a very good video on basically exactly what I do.
