Very easy to become OCD with keeping a vette spotless and shiny.

You might like to consider a product called a rinseless wash. ONR (Optimum No Rinse) is a great product for light cleaning . Becareful with brake dust which can be extremely abrasive and harm wheels both chrome and painted, you might want to clean them traditionally or with a rinseless wash and several MF towels.

Minimal as possible as I don't want to wear out the paint finish along with my back and neck.

Three times last summer; this year, not yet.

So far, the dirt has not slowed it down.

Cyber Gray is great at not showing dirt. From a distance I have even gotten compliments.

when they get dirty nothing is better for your car than a wash,only use waterless & detail for light cleaning and dust.
