Let's post a list here of our detailing routines (products, techniques and frequency) as a reference for newbies and other members alike!

I'll start:

I try to wash my car about once every 10 days, if possible. I use Blue Coral Car Wash liquid I purchased at Walmart, nothing fancy but it seems to work. I spray the tires with Stoner's "More Shine, Less Time" every wash. I do my windows and all glass with Stoner's about once a month. The black trim get's a coat of lotion (either Meguiar's or Mother's mostly) once a month. The interior gets the 303 treatment about once every month or so. I try to regularly "shake out" the mats so dirt doesn't get ground in.... and vacuum monthly. I use Klasse or Pinnacle leather conditioner about 3 times a year.

As far as waxing goes, I use several products...Meguiars NXT, 3M Perfect-IT, P21S. I love the Poorboy's sealant. Basically I try to keep several coats of wax on my car at all times. This means waxing fairly often... no more than two months between coats.

I also clay on occasion (Mother's California system) but only 3 times in two and a half years so far.

The results have been very satisfying.... and it really isn't all that much work.
