I've started to see that if you start early, it's pretty easy to keep the car looking really good.
Paint correction and polishing will take a good period of time to do, as will the rest of that initial deep cleaning/ "restoration". After that though, all you do is change the items you're using and maybe a couple of the methods and you can keep the paint looking really nice for a good while.
Paint correction, polishing, wax/sealant along with a good clean on the rest of the car. After that, go to a DIY carwash or something and bring your stuff with you. Wash the car, use some detail spray, and then dry it off with the proper towel. After that, just go over a few areas if they need it and you're good to go.
I'm still new to it though, so I'm still learning as I said. I'll be doing the full first cleaning on my '16 STI this weekend with all the stuff I just bought. Should be interesting
