So, just picked up a new 2'er on lease. Except I already put a smidge of minor swirls or whatever you call it rubbing out a spot of dirt on the hood. So I figured, worth gearing up for at least a decent attempt at maintaining this thing. I don't have a huge amount of free time...or a hose (apartment...sigh...)

Any thoughts on the following plan, based on a perusal of the forums?

Minor dirt, bird poop, bug removal:

1) water spritzer/microfiber in trunk (Paper towels a no-no?)
2) "detailer" in water in spritzer bottle/microfiber?

(note: looks like my tap water is pretty hard :/ hope that isn't bad, i.e. perma-bad...)

Washes, either biweekly or monthly:
1) hand wash somewhere borrowing someone's hose, either P21S or Meguiars or Chemical Guys, etc etc etc
2) sealer/wax?
3) or pay a detailer just to do a wash?

1-2x/yr: detail
