You are assuming quite a lot about how I wash my car. I have "clayed" it twice since I have had it. Keep it waxed, And I don't make washing it a complicated thing. I guess when I am out driving, I need to hope no one is carrying a fluorescent light with them. Now I know to stay away from them. BTW, I keep it in the garage at all times when not driving it. Can you say that? What do you think the outdoor elements are doing to your car every day?ummm...no. Look at your car under fluorescent lighting, and check out all of the spider web scratches all over your paint. Even someone washing a car properly cannot avoid those marks in the paint from time to time, and they take lots of work to correct.
I am not a detailer by profession, but I promise you that even a "showroom new" car still has lots of imperfections in the paint, much less one that's been washed in a car wash numerous times, as well as hand washed by someone who thinks a car wash does an ok job. I'm betting you use a regular sponge and a single bucket with soap in it when you wash it, and just rub the dirt around until you can rinse it off...might as well take a piece of 800 grit sandpaper to it.
My Mustang was owned by a sales manager at the dealership I got it from, and was only washed in the touchless wash bay at the dealership once every couple of weeks. It took me 9 hours of work to get all of the water spots out of the clear the day I brought it home, and I still don't have the glass as clear as I would like to have it.
