I do the interior first also, so that it can be drying before the customer picks it up, I try not to get it too wet anyways.
I use the air compressor first, to blow out all the vents, in between the seats, the seams in the seats, the rear tray around tthe third brake light etc.
Then, I take a bottle of water with a little multipurpose cleaner in it, and spray the vents, ashtrays, gauges, shifter boot, etc. and agitate with a round paint brush, and use the air to blow everything clean.
You can use the vehicles heater, to dry interior.
I take the nozzle off a wd 40 can, and the little red extension, and put it on cans of paint for the fenderwells, you can really shoot the paint where you want it with less overspray.
I cover engines electrical parts with foil, spray cleaner, start engine, and let it dwell for about 5 minutes, leave engine running, and pressure wash everything clean. Its easier to keep a engine running, than it is to start one that has gotten the electrical parts soaked!
These tricks work for me, and help speed up the detail.
Oh yeah, get a portable jumper, dead batteries are a pain, and if you dont have another vehicle to use to jump, your stuck.
