Detailing Calendar Question

My car is garaged in the evening and I average about 12K miles per year. How often should you do the following.

Wash - Weekly. Just bought a Cali duster and hope to make it two weeks between washes unless it rains...then I won't use the duster til it's washed again.

Zaino every 6 months with 3 layers.

Cali Duster?

Detail Spray?

Clay?

Hand Polish?

Porter Polish?

Wash - Weekly.

Caliduster - N E V E R, these suckers are a great avenue for marring

Detail Spray - as needed, maybe after every other wash (assuming you use Z8)

Clay - My car lives in the garage now and looks like it will get about 6K a year on it...I will clay once a year based on the fact that it does not see the elements.

Polish - no more hand polish, just PC. I would do this annually as well.

+1 on this. +1 on porter cable as well. makes everything a lot faster. if it was me, ide clay 2x per year at least. im a klasse fan so ide klasse aio and sealant glaze 4x a year. carnauba wax once every 2 months. wash every 2 weeks isnt too bad. protect the interior in there as well. normally a wipe down once a week with a damp microfiber will do fine. DO NOT USE armor all.
