+1. And my car is black. By the time I get to wash it it's grey

I do try for a semi annual clay, polish, Klasse AIO then Klasse SG. I find using the random orbital really helps keep swirls and minor scratches to a minimum.

Switched to this a year ago and haven't used a hose since.

Wash and wax every six months. Is that really bad? It is garaged at home and at work, so what it picks up is road grime and dust, some bugs.

Do you apply the Sonax foam directly to the ventilated seats, or to a pad or towel, then to the seats? What kind of finish or patina does it leave?
