Great guide 
Only thing I do different is I use an aquablade (I know, I know) then a m/f to dry the last bits up, as I find the m/f gets too wet too soon otherwise.
I personally dont use quick detailer after neither, mainly cause I haven't got any, lol.

And they use a sponge. And a leather that both get used all day.
