Optimum No-Rinse Wash and Wax using the two-bucket method. Because I'm too lazy to load the car and drive half a mile across my apartment complex to the carwash stall and would rather wash the car on my driveway.
Two coats of Zaino Z2 sealant once every 4-6 months. Zaino Tire Shine (does not streak, does not leave a slimy residue, just looks dark satin black, not actually glossy.) For wheels, I use Sonax wheel cleaner, but the FRS stock brakes/pads never need it... mostly use this on the AMG after track days with track pads.

Been fond of Chemical guys honeydew soap, sometimes I use the foam lance to soap it up, other times just the 2 bucket Quote:

Seriously, just pressure washer and dry with microfiber towels as I have had a ceramic coating applied to the paint and it's very slippery....

Two bucket method. Meguiar's Gold Class soap. One microfiber mitt for the the body, one microfiber mitt for the wheels. One Absorber for the body and another for the wheels. Meguiar's QD spray while drying to help prevent marring/scratches. Collinite 476s wax. When I do a full detail, Meguiar's blue clay bar with Ultimate Quick Detail. I have Meg's Ultimate Compound, Swirl-x, Scratch-x, Deep Crystal Polish, and Plast-x on standby should I need them.

Oh and for bird crap or other debris, Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax Anywhere with a microfiber towel. Stoner's Window Cleaner for the windows.
