in between washes

we just got our mini washed and waxed at a great place here in town, but of course it rains three days later

our condo complex is not conducive to cleaning and to be honest the place in town is amazing! all hand wash and everytime you drive by you seen rolls, betleys, ferraris, etc... so i trust them a lot, and being perfectly honest as much as i like our mini i know i can't/won't do as good a job as they will.

anyway our washing plan was to do a hand wash and interior clean once a month with a full wash and wax twice a year and an interior/exterior detail once a year.

what this rather longwinded post is getting at is the interim.

what can i use for the following:
  • remove weekly dirt build up
  • the plastic/vinyl interior bits
  • the leather
  • the glass
  • wheels
  • tires

Overkill for your needs, but:

Seriously, you are gonna have a tough time going 4 weeks between washes. Even if you stay completely on top of QD (quick detailing) and dusting it is gonna rain on your car. Then you need to wash, not QD.

Look into finding a local touchless drive through wash if you really don't want to take car of the exterior yourself. The interior is much easier and look to agranger's thread above for details and product suggestions.
