I follow GSRstilez regimen almost to the letter. during the high pollen spring months though, I QD every morning or every other with #425. And spot polish if absolutely necessary as well in between full details. Twice a year, though I reserve a 3-day detail for my car and my wife's car (each) and do a show-style detail. "No clients, no calls, no emails, and no discussions about what do you want to do this weekend hunny?" My wife calls me George on those weekends as I was once quoted quoting Mr. Castanza: "You wanna get nuts? Let's get nuts!"
^^Bah. I just thought of this ater my post...I just finished my wife's 3-Day'er and her brake light went out. Audi replaced it on the spot when she took it in. While she's drooling over the new A4 Cabrio, the servie manager says, "Ok, it's all fixed...it'll just be a minute while they take it over to cloister and get it washed." She freaked out......then she pointed out the webbing from the wash that was not there before. YEAH JULIE! he claimed that he forgot that our cars don't get washed and must be serviced with mats, gloves, and booties. I bet they love me.

when we say cleaning paints we talk about removing above and below surface contaminants that have bonded to the paint that a normal wash wont remove...most above surface contaminants can be removed with clay. below surface contaminants, we like to use a product with cleaning abilities..most of us use a polish with mild cleaning abilities
