2006 Tacoma - Weekly Rinseless wash with optimum or DP4N1. Top with DG AW, RR, or Souveran Spray Wax. I usually polish once every six months. The spider webs and swirls begin to show about that time frame. I hit the windows outside everyweek with DG RR and hit the inside once a month. The interior stays decent so just a quick vac and dust wipe down and I'm done.

SRX 06 -- Daily driver, washed once weekly, detailed interior once monthly, and resealed or waxed about every 4 weeks or when new products arrive for testing.

Vette 05 -- former daily driver, washed twice weekly while used as DD. Now sits in garage and winks at family. Still gets washed every other week and detailed about every 6-8 weeks with UPP/Souveran combo or UPP/Polycharger as wanted.

2006 Mazdaspeed 6.

I try to do a weekly wash, but when busy with detailing find it tough to find the time. Full polish once a year if needed. Spot polishing when neccessary. Wax or seal...depends. I usually just keep some AW on top of whatever I last waxed/sealed it with until I have time to do a more thorough wax or seal.

02 Z06 wash every time a get a chance. I do the interior every other month, the exterior gets washed weekly. As far as polishing it, I do that every 6 months. Once before Winter, and once in the Spring.
My routine in-between is do do a full wash, paint cleaning, glaze, and Sealant

Menzerna and Prima Swirl are my polishes of choice

Infiniti I30t - (daily driver) washed weekly/bi-weekly (whenever I have time, or feel it is dirty), always use QD after washing. Wax every 3 months or so. Interior - once a month (protectant), every 3 months full interior detail (leather/vinyl cleaning, conditioning).
Acura RL - is on the same schedule.

Lexus RX400h, I usually give it a weekly wipedown with PB Spray & Wipe, then DG AW. I usually give it a conventional wash every other week or if it gets really dirty. Wax every time I get a new one . Interior gets a wipedown about every 2 weeks.
