Spring Cleaning and Maintenance

Spring is here and I'm driving my car more because gas is expensive and my truck eats too much gas!! I hate seeing my car dirty and it's driving me nuts but washing is a problem due to constant raining.

How do you all keep your clean clean during spring? I know waxing and maintaining that is key. I also have the dry wash but I've never used or tried it so I'm scared!!

Any recommendation? I have all kids of cleaning products and waxes and sealants etc.

I have 2 coats of FMJ sealant I put on the car 1-2 weeks ago when the weather was finally nice here. We get a lot of pollen, so its tough to keep the car clean and whenever it rains, the car always gets dirt on it.

The sealant makes the paint pretty slick, so every weekend I just wipe it down with Optimum Opti-Clean QD and a microfiber towel. Takes me maybe 5-10 minutes.

When its really dirty, it gets a quick maintenance wash with Gold Class shampoo and a waffle weave drying towel. Takes me maybe 15-20 minutes.

And I have a BO car.
