3 buckets - one for clean water, one for rinsing dirty rag, one for tires and rims. Use portable air to dry car

When I have access to a driveway, spigot, and cover - two bucket wash w/ grit guard, dry, finish with Meguiara waterless wash and wax or a quick wax, then tire shine. Try to clay bar, polish, and seal twice per year.

Unfortunately I do not have a driveway, so lately it’s been a run through In & Out on Bonnabel then dry with Meguiar’s wash and wax. It makes my skin crawl knowing I’m tearing the paint up, but don’t have many other options right now.

$20 a month for endless wash with tire shine at Blue Wave. There's one on my way to work, and one on the way home.

So I hit it once a week. Twice if it rains in between.

There's a tag on my windshield so I don't even have to roll the window down. About every 3rd wash I vacuum it out. I'm pretty good about keeping the inside clean, never leave trash in it. So other than the random crap that gets on the floor mats, it stays clean on the inside.
