The only thing I really do on a daily basis is a bird poop check.

Yea..I check for bird poop or dents. I keep a very small long fiber fluffy brush and MF in the car and wipe the dash for dust pretty much every other day.

I do a full walkaround for scratches, dings, etc every time I get into my car, and then usually I try to QD the rims every day, my car's got pretty bad brake dust. 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.

Daily?
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.

Nothing daily, twice a week it gets a wash and a QD, vacuum once a week with windows cleaned and a general wipedown.

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

Ditto, couldn't have said it better in my case as well. 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.
