Ideas?
Use a decent sealant that will last a few months, longest lasting I have without spending lots is Poorboys EX-P sealant.
Do you use a lambswool washmitt? If not will cut down on scratching.
A microfibre drying towel like sonus will make drying a lot easier than a chamois - one of best things I've bought, used to hate drying.
Meguiars last touch has many uses, can use it with a claybar, which you would benefit from using.
Also for spraying on wet car before drying off, helps with water spots etc.
