Micro fiber and Speed Wax from Garage One (online from Tampa) is all I use, I can't imagine washing it, just clean it when necessary. Do you clean your best suit every time you where it? I just got back from a 1500 mile trip, drove 3 hours in the rain getting home, buy a wet vac and enjoy your car!!
Yep. A great memory from my first year of ownership was getting caught in a Florida gusher late last summer. Wet vac and park it in the sun for a day and no worse for wear. Also depending on how close to the coast there will be salt residue collecting everywhere on the car and just wiping the top surface won't clean that....though I use micro fiber and detail spray weekly it does get a (careful) bath occasionally.
