nope not nuts, a method recomended for daily drivers. A lubricating quick detailer spray (depending on what type of wax is on top, synthetic or carnauaba wax) and a few quick passes with MF towel. You want to fold the towel into fours and use a clean square on each panel, wiping perpendicular to the floor. One towel to clean and another to buff away any streaks. Try and stick with neutral colored microfiber towels like grey and white and use the blue and yellow and green for the interior. It may sound overly 'technical' but believe me after having a black daily driver for 5 years you see all your permanent mistakes (and so does everyone else). Using the spray bottle daily, five minutes tops weather permiting, makes the actual car washing easier on the paint.
