So hows a good tuner supposed to keep his ride clean these days. So many stupid drivers out there, road crews leaving crap all over the road, mother nature constantly giving you the finger .... whats a respectable tuner to do? We put so much effort into the miniscule details and even if its not an expensive paint job or the most expensive rims we want them to last a good while. So any suggestions would be appreciated. The ultimate question is:
How do you keep your daily driver clean lookin? (Take into account all the rocks, unidentifiable liquids, freak accidents .... everything).

I think you might be mixing the concepts...
IMO when they stereotype a vic as: "clean" simply means having a clean look on the car...without adding ridiculous parts that make it look ricie like a huge wing/spoiler, adding all those ridiculous stickers, a hood scoop, etc, etc...
Now if you are refering to debri on the streets?, there's no way to avoid that, unless you'd Lamined-X your whole car all around, but even so..that doesn't garantee that you won't mess up your car.

Im refering to it in both concepts. So say if you do have all that junk on your car ... well you dont want to screw it up and debris on the street is the biggest problem i see. So does anyone have like a magic cleaner product or a general rule they use when they drive in order to maximize the life of there cars look?

wash, polish, and wax regularly. when you get a chip, use some touch up paint. there isnt a cure to road hazzards, but you can diminish the effect they have on your paint by taking precautionary measures.

i wash once, sometimes 2X a week[and i mean full hand wash+dry] and wax regularly, i have a California car duster thingy that i use if it just has some fine dust on it etc.Im **** about my car being clean...but then again its black, so if its not clean, it looks crappy.
