Car Soap and water are good.!!! And don't let your motherinlaw near it.. mine always scratches my paint when she walks by cause she's fat and rubs against the quarter panels with her keys in her pockets.. I can't stand that woman!!

I thought you said your mother-in-law died, and her W204 became your backup vehicle...

Just make sure to wash it in cloudy weather or early morning, late evening when the sun isn't shining on it (that really goes for all car colors, but especially black). Otherwise it will spot within minutes and will look like a really ****ty wash job.

Personally, I use the two bucket method, with Optima no rinse wash and do the whole thing in the garage, sans the wheels which are done with light water and a hose....
No spots ever.

I second this. Spend the money and you will never have to worry about swirls or spider web effect on your paint. The paint is crap as it is with lots of orange peel, but still. wrap is the way to go.
I did Xpel Ultimate on my Z06 and CQuartz Finest coating. It looks incredible.
