Welcome to Autogeek Online!
I would say if you are going to be working in a parking lot with a bunch of vehicles and all you are doing is a quick wash and wax than I would invest in a Foam Cannon HP and a Pressure washer. That will make washing the vehicles much faster. I like to use the Cobra Waffle Weave Drying Towels for drying the vehciles. The new XMT 360 Spray Wax is a great product for a quick spray wax.
Pinnacle Pressure Washer Foam Cannon HP, foam lance, foam gun, pressure washer foam gun
The Supreme Guzzler Waffle Weave Microfiber Drying Towel by Cobra is a medium size drying towel for cars, compact trucks and SUVs.
Pinnacle XMT 360 Spray Wax, Carnauba spray wax, spray car wax, detailing wax

Just to note, it's usually best to "introduce yourself" in the "Introduction Forum group" and then if you have questions, post them to a forum group for how-to questions.
You'll get a lot more replies this way...

If you are working with someone you could have someone jelly blade the vehicles after a pressure wash and foam cannon, then the other person could follow with a microfiber towel.
For team work also one person can handwax , the other follow and wipe to a shine.
When I want to quickly wash my car I just pressure wash it , use a foam canon, and jelly blade it. It always looks great (if you use a carwash &wax, one with wax in it you may not have to hand wax each car if they get washed monthly. (my opinion)
IF it is just you working I would take my time with drying a car really good afteryou wash it to avoid spots
With hard water there are cheap filters you can buy even at your local walmart that attach to any hose!

If you want to build your business around car lot washing, it is a hard road to go. Start by looking up fleet washing or go to a pressure washing forum like "The Grime Scene" (The Grime Scene - Pressure Wash Welcome to The Grime Scene). You can get a lot of info there. A good place for power washing chemicals is EnviroSpec.com and powerwash.com. Higher end and faster powerwashing businesses use a de-ionizing system to cut down on drying as it will not leave water spots. With all of this, you can expect $2 to $10 per car depending on the number of cars and your location (don't quote me on the prices - they vary greatly).
Next, check your local EPA laws as you may have to collect your used water! You might get away without this for a while, but be careful as a $10,000.00 fine for you and one for your customer tends to cut into profits.
To pull this off you will need a minimum of 4 gpm washer and it should be a good one because it is going to get a workout.
Good Luck and I hope it works out for you.
