Default Wash or Quick Detailer

If you keep up with a quick detailer spray and wipe after a good wash, how long do you go between full washes? How often do you do a full paint correcting polish and shine?

Full paint correction once and then a mild correction once every 2-2.5 years.

I daily drive my car so quick detailing doesn't last long. I can QD my car a day or two after washing but nothing beyond that as the dust layer becomes too thick.

Rinseless wash on Sunday and Thursday. Quicker than QD and less chance of introducing swirls. Regular wash once a month.

If I don't get caught in the rain I QD a couple of times a week to stay on top of it.

If I do drive in the rain I won't clean it until I can do a full wash.

I get a professional detailing once a year before it goes into storage for the winter.

P.S. You posted this thread twice

After every drive, so I can put it back in the garage, throw on the cover, and wait two or tree weeks for another fine day to happen.
