Every day? Wow... I drove it around for a month with dust and dirt and brake dust and bug guts on it before even spraying water on it.

definitely OCD haha... I have a lilttle mini duster in my car though and I just break that out once in a while when the dust settles. It's a pink one too! Other than that I just clean the whole car ever 2-3 weeks.

I don't wash it every day, but I am diligent about removing bird poop and such with Meguiar's QD. I keep a bottle and a microfiber cloth in the door cup/bottle holder.

I bought silver so I wouldn't HAVE to think about it. I do the QD real quick with Bounty paper towels or microfiber about once / week or if I notice something. Probably wash it every 3-6 months and full wax once/year.

The towel gets swapped out/washed regularly. I've got about ten of the things at this point.
