I washed my car for the 2nd time on Saturday and with the clear weather it is the first time it's stayed clean for more than 6 hours - the black just looks SO much better when not covered by a layer of dirt..! At least I got a proper layer of wax put onto it the first time I washed it using 3 steps of Meguiar products (and drove straight into the rain.. hehe!); just doing Meguiar's Wash'n'wax single product [the first step] was all that was required this time. I think my car's washing schedule will be the 3 steps every month, then wash every other 3 weekends.
Yeah you are right, the Milano's I have seen were nice and shiny, practically sparkling, I don't think it would look as nice without the polishing up or if it got really dirty.

I washed my Euro last Sunday, with Meguiar wash of course! Within an hour of finishing it, and I mean I washed her up really nice, cleaned her down to the finest detail, wiped her down afterwards to stop the dirt spots forming.... then it rained ! It only lasted a few mins though but was enough to soak it nice. Not to be outdone I wiped her down again before it dried dirty! I had to go for a drive not even 40 mins after that and you guessed it it rained AGAIN !! I hate Melbourne weather, I swear it went from sunny to raining in a heartbeat !!
