It's black, so I try to avoid using QD's on the paint unless the car hasn't been driven and it's just garage dust.

Shoot, nothing more than a ding check.
I like to run my LSPs through the gauntlet so I leave everything else on there  . I wash 'er every 5-7 days and so far, nothing has etched.

Sounds like me when I had the Integra. "Step 1: Pray it's where I left it'.

Although, for me, my LSPs are really put through the ringer, as I can't generally wash until about every 2-3 weeks. Other than that, car gets nothing, except maybe some light cleaning of the interior.
