The joke around here (northern VA) is take it to Porsche Chantilly or Tysons every month and get a new State Inspection and test drive whatever they have that interests you. For $ 20 State Inspection, you get a new sticker and a full interior / exterior detailing.
Can't beat the price and kill an hour on a test drive.

With full PPF and ceramic, if I’m feeling lazy, I can use a waterless wash if the car isn’t caked in bugs. I can finish the whole car and wheels in 15 mins. Rinseless doesn’t take much longer. I also have a pressure washer with foam cannon for when the car is really dirty.
If you truly don’t want to do it yourself then find a good mobile detailer who can wash your car at home or work twice a month.

Like most have said:
Hire a mobile detailing service to come to your house OR take it to a detailing service that will just hand wash it, when you need it. This is the best option for paint longevity and scratch prevention (I know you said you weren't a paint snob).
Take it to a place like you described.
Take it to a car wash that the masses go to.
Do you have a different car you take somewhere or what have you used before? If paint snobbery isn't your thing, you realistically can take it anywhere you choose. A 911 doesn't need to be treated any differently than another brand or type of car when washing.

Easy car to wash, and that's me spending ~5 minutes per wheel (multiple brushes, full barrel clean). OP has a warped sense of enjoyment. How can you not like washing these cars?
Also laughed at "physical labor".

Well, this thread has gone completely nuts and I don't think the OP returned once.

And this is a big problem, the collapse of the insect population. We humans are slowly destroying the Ecosystems.

Funny, I didn't check your location but seeing your photo I immediately thought of a time driving past Mormon Lake on my way from Flagstaff to Pine. Luckily I was in my Land Cruiser. Power washer nozzle from 2mm away got everything off pretty quick.

Yep, Mormon Lake. Nailed it.

You're missing bourbon, that's why you're unhappy. Neat, half an ice cube right after the drivers side is complete. Then another, maybe different bottle for completing the passenger side. You've been courageous; it's well earned.
It's all about perspective really.
