My car never sees water or soap. When it gets overly dusty, I might take a damp micro fiber towel and give it a soft once over. A couple times I have taken a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water for removing wax. But usually just hitting it with spray detailer and really soft micro fiber towels does the trick for keeping it clean. The wheels need to be hit with wheel cleaner and a hose every now and then, but that's about all the water this car sees. Admittedly I got caught in one rain storm once. I think I worked on the undercarriage for 3 hours getting it back to where I like it.
