Be careful with washing, even with those mobile detailing folks.
Be sure they rinse out the mitt often, especially when going below the belt line. It doesn't matter if they pressure wash before and use a soap cannon to cover the whole car. If they don't rinse out the mitt, there's a high chance that they will pick up some debris from the front bumper / lower panels and drag that across your entire car. Rinse often and don't apply pressure when drying. I literally lay a towel down on the hood to absorb the water, then lift it straight up. No pressure no dragging.
Then go at it gently with a detailing cloth for any drips.

Is this crazy? Yes. But it depends how you want your car to look.
I see you are in NYC, do you have a mobile detailer you can recommend?
