At home, with ONR Wash and Wax the whole process is done in less than 20 min.

At home by hand typically once every week or two. Once a month ill put some Menzerna power lock sealant on it. The previous owners put enough swirl marks in it so I stay away from conveyor washes.

Home - two bucket method, foam gun for presoak, blot with waffle-weave towels to try

You're an idiot if you use an automated carwash

After I arrive at my destination after when traveling, it's typically my tradition to take the car to a self serve car wash and use the high pressure soapy water setting to get the bugs off. I've shot some cars at the car wash before but it was more for the aesthetics of the large amounts of often fruity colored suds then actually getting the cars clean.
