By no means rubbing it in, but washed/dried/detailed wheels/all jams & wiped interior this morning in 20 minutes...boring color, but it sure is easy

Exactly; portable leaf blower and awesome towel for the paint...then quick wipe down of the jams, then move to engine bay and wheels...there is so little water on the car I can literally dry it with one microfiber on the car and the other for the wheels. Now if I picked up something off the road or 500+ mile roar trip, it can take an hour on the high end. It is so simple

If you do two year leases, and you don't see all the stuff some of us do, then you can afford to be more hasty when washing. Again, I'm only really talking about solid black.
I am very particular, use only clean/quality mitts and the vehicle never really gets that dirty...part of living in Santa Barbara and having a daily driver. It is waxed 2-3x per year (6-8 hour 3-step process), covered and never sees rain...rinsed 2x per month and washed 5-7x monthly depending on driving.

Buddy of mine has carmine red GTS and it is very nice. You can't go wrong either way.

I believe there is a silver 2015 GTS for sale in the latest issue of Panorama.
