At 6 months old still looks showroom new
Proper cleaning, especially the rims, makes a huge difference in how your car will look years ahead. I will never and have never washed this in a car wash. I use a foam cannon with McKees 37 extreme foam wash and then the two bucket method using a chinille micro fiber mitt and Meguiar's carnauba wash & wax. I finish it with a Ryobi 8amp jet fan blower which leaves the car spotless. (You need ear plugs when doing this unless you don't want to hear well for an hour later). Of course I do the wheels first with Wolfgang tire and wheel cleaner and a speed master wheel brush as well as a Chenille micro fiber Mitt. After a full wash I use Meguiar's premium carnauba spray wax to bring out a rich shine. In between washes for light water spots or dust I use my California duster and then Meguiar's Quik mist & wipe to maintain the shine. I am still learning but believe I am off to a decent start.
