After she does the laundry and cooks dinner and puts the kid to bed I'll ask her. I don't want to interupt her while she's busy. After all she had to get a five a.m. to go to work too. What kind of monster do you take me for?

Anyone who has only washed their car twice in 29k miles would be embarrassed to park their car next to someone who details it like it should be. If you truly think your "2 wash-29kmile" car looks good, you are in la la land.

I use the Duragloss products and I'm quite happy with them. I use their car wash soap. Their products aren't a wax, they're a polymer. I use the base enhancer first. Does not require buffing. Then their fiberglass polish/sealer on top of it. Brings the color right out and last a lot longer than wax. Don't need an electric buffer. This stuff comes off easy and I do it by hand.
In addition I use their polish and IMHO it's the best I've ever used.

...no, and why would you ask? 
My car never gets so dirty that using any soapy solution is required. It's washed every week after we return from a run, then covered in the shop. It gets polished regularly and it's not a daily driver subjected to constant weather, bird droppings or any other contamination. I'll compare my clean water washed cars to soap used cars any day.

He is right. You NEED soap to remove the dirt. Water alone will not do that. If you think your car magicly wards off dirt its time to wake up out of fantasy land. And putting a cover on a car that has dirt on in is a big no-no.For the record I use Zaino. Works good. I'm sure Adam's and many others are very good as well.

This is the same argument that says you have to change your oil every 3,000 miles.
If your car gets that dirty and prefer to use soap on your car, go for it!
I built two street driven, full frame off, highly modified $50,000+ tri five Chevies in 10 years. Both won more $3.98 plastic trophies than I had room for and neither were ever washed with soap. My '55 210 sedan was a featured magazine car (CHEVY CLASSICS by PRIMEDIA).
