I did initially. Now I find myself not wanting to do it so often because I know I'll be taking it out and getting it all buggy again. Early on I did a turtle wax 3 stage for black paint. The last stage is a heavy carnauba wax. Good layer of protection.

I try to wash her on Saturday mornings. These black rims are really dirt magnets.

I live a mile down a dirt and gravel road. During the Summer i washed every other weekend, but used a California duster inbetween unless it rained. Plus after 4 applications of Maguires ultimate paste wax, the dirt and mud pretty much hose off. With the rain really starting now here in WA i just hose it off especially under the car to knock off the grit and wash when i can.

My last car was black and I had this same problem. Everytime It would rain it would be dirty again and it made washing it feel pointless. That's why I won't get black car again.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

I use a quick detailer spray on the car every time it goes out somewhere, well before it goes back in the garage anyway. I hate having a dirty car lol
My car has only seen the hose twice, maybe 3 times as far as I can recall

What's In Your Detailing "kit"? | Mustang Forums at StangNet
There's what I use. I desperately need to detail my F150, it's rained every day I've been off for the past three weeks and it's a muddy mess on the outside and a little bit of one on the inside. Drives me nuts because I keep everything except the inside of the bed (it is a truck after all) spotless/flawless.
