Decided I wanted to give the car a quick clean today. Obviously the weather is too grotty for a full wash but I've found that I can just give it a snowfoam (Bilt Hamber Touchless) and then pressure wash it off and it gets its 95% clean. I don't touch the car with a mitt or drying towel, its all snowfoam and rinse. Anyway, just as I was applying the snow foam...... it started snowing. My neighbours think I'm barking :o

Many years ago I was washing my car (cosworth) about 2 or 3 times a week. The lady about 3 doors down passed whilst walking her dog. She said, 'your always washing your car' I replied 'your always walking your dog'. She never spoke to me again...lol.

First decent day this year, around 15°C. So wash and polish, will give it the wax treatment next time and the wheels need a good seeing to. The Vignale looks good considering it's only had a partial makeover.

Unless they are heavily soiled, a damp cloth and mild detergent are all that is needed. Its a synthetic leather anyway. I use Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard every 6 months to give some abrasion and stain protection.
