How to take care of cars in uncovered parking?

just like what everyone said....dont worry about using carwash/wax combo.its a waste of time.get a decent carwash shampoo and youd be good to go and stick with that "once a month expert cleaning" since your car is still new..there should a be a very good amount of clearcoat on it.i would suggest getting a good sealant to keep it locked and wont get thin over time.get someone that knows how to apply and buff it.
i know exactly how hard it is to keep a car clean especially if its daily driven and doesnt go in a garage.i have the same thing too with my truck but i do my own detailing.(look in the "maintaining blck cars" thread)the paint is old(so is the truck..lol) but ived kept the paint looking good for its age.

yung combo ko ng dusting-wetting-shampooing/rinsing-drying works best for me..kasi nga pag maalikabok yung kotse kahit banlawan mo ng maiigi before shampooing, ang tendency talaga e maraming kakapit sa mitt na dumi kaya you need to rinse the mitt again before going to the next area..kaya what i do is dust muna ng calicarduster(d best talaga) before wetting the car para minimal na lang yung alikabok na kakapit sa mitt....problema lang talaga yang mga birds' droppings na yan

a.k.a. Double-bucket method

How much is paint protection? And what are some names of the paint protection brands that I should look for when searching for a detailer? Thanks

that shampoo is crap. I have it, but I'm not using it anymore. it feels like it's actually peeling my wax, not adding it.

mas ok pa yung 3m shampoo, It's not the best, but it's just good enough for simple light cleaning.

kung my budget, I'd go for Mothers brand...
