You guys are amazing. Glen when it comes to cosmetic maintenance, your words are just slightly below the bible. Taking care of this car for almost ten years was so easy. Makes me want to try to duplicate that low maintenance feel of that car. In your instructions you talked about repeating the polish and seal every 2-3 month and the whole thing (~1.5 days including waiting times) every year. What maintenance do you recommend that has a shorter time requirements?

Not sure what you are asking, im getting 4 months out of crystal seal, that takes 20 min to apply. The polish is only done once. I rinseless wash about every 7-10 days....those take 20 min too.
I suppose shorter than that would be a conventional wash and a quik spray of meguires QUIK WAX - good stuff, but not very durable.

Yeah but Windex has ammonia typically! Yeah definitely rinseless or at the very least some sort of detailer.

Definitely paint sealants like Crystal Sealant are super easy and combined with a good rinseless product really make the paint pop! Doesn't really get any easy than that with awesome results.
