Geez, where do you find that kind of time, PW? Or have you found that having that billet grill saves about 10 minutes right there?
I've found that after claying (which works wonders) and putting on at least 2 coats of wax that as long as I keep my Yellow GT covered at night, parked in the parking structure at work and then gone over with the Cal Duster before covering it that I can go a pretty long time between washes. I just need to do the squeegee thing every 4 days or so to get all the crap off the windows and then do a spot cleaning with Meguire's spray detailer to get out any bird hits.
Claying worked so well on my clearcoat and got out all those tiny specks that can only be seen up close. Problem is I have to keep going back and forth with the bar so I have never had the time to do the whole car at once! It takes about 3-4 hours to do it all and then wax. Not including the time of the wash. But then I don't leave any traces of wax on my cars!

I wash my car once or twice a week.. AND.. "Duster" it every morning before driving to work and again before heading home!

Wash mine about once per week and I use the car cover if its parked. I havent waxed the car yet as I am not sure what wax to get. Im leaning toward the Zaino Bros. My car is Torch red and I get the spider webs in the clear coat. I want something that will take that out. Whats everyone else using?

What's worse for me is that my 'Stang sits on the driveway instead of inside the garage, 'cuz it's full of junk. I'm still waiting for an empty weekend or two so I can clear that stuff out and move it to storage! Luckily, satin silver is a little more forgiving when it comes to dust!

The solution is:
California Car Duster, car cover and move to Phoenix, Arizona
