Well I am living in an apartment now so I can't really wash my car. I quick detail it weekly and use Optimum No Rinse if it rains/sand storms on my car

(Yeah the bottom of the front bumper is off, I say it's my volvo's off road mode, brother cracked it and I need to repair a joint that cuts through 4/5 of it. Trim shine on it currently is Stoner's spray trim shine, didn't wash off with the first rain so I'm happy about that).
(Photos taken a month apart, cleaned the tires/rims a bit this week)
Honestly I'm curious about the Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 quick detailer/sealant, I currently use their old? bubble gum smelling sky blue carnuba quick detailer and noticed pretty good beading when it rained a week ago.
You could always use a protectant (who knows how well a sealant/carnuba detailer works) quick detailer to clean the water spots off, even 3 days off after a wash to give it a quick cleaning mid week. I always enjoy having a gallon of quick detailer and a bottle in the trunk for the rare Tucson bird bombs.

I wash my car in my garage. In the winter I attatch the hose to my water heater and have hot water! It warms the garage and I never have to deal with the sun. Alos I never have to rush or worry about it drying quickly.
