I almost never use soap of any kind on any of my vehicles unless they are just filthy. My '86 Daytona Turbo Z (garage queen) has never seen soap, not surprising since it's only seen rain twice. In the 21/2 years that I have had my Crossfire it has never seen soap. Even my Jeep has only seen soap when it was extremely dirty after off roading. It's 16 years old and has spent every night and day that I have owned it sitting outside. The paint is 100% original and it has won two trophies so far this year at local car shows. The aforementioned Meguier's Wax and Wash Anywhere is a great product and when the Jeep is fairly dirty it's my go to product. To be honest though most of the time the Jeep is not that dirtry, maybe a layer of dust or pollen and a few spots here and there I use my car duster and a spray bottle of water and some microfiber towels to clean it up. When I do that I will usually follow up with a spray detailer. I also wipe it down after it rains with a plush terry towel or some microfiber towels. The paint is not perfect but considering it sits outside all the time it still looks pretty darn good. As for the Daytona and the Crossfire it's nothing but the duster and the detailer 99.999% of the time. In addition I apply a coat of quality wax to all my vehicles at least twice a year.
