Seriously though, folks, when you go to these lengths to clean a car presumably the finish is longer lasting than a normal wash and polish? Has anyone found this to be so in the good ol' British climate?
Once the first big clay, clean, polish, seal and wax has been done, you settle into a normal routine. Wash weekly, followed by a detail spray (spray on, wipe off) to bring back the just waxed look. Every few months, polish and wax the car. couple of time a year, clay the car - doesn't take long to do.

If you have never clayed the car, you will be amazed how much easyer it is to polish and wax a car. Claying the car gives a glass smooth surface, so washing and polishing requires far less effort.

If you car is garaged, the sealant/wax should last a few months, a bit less if the car is left outside.
