Funny you should ask this, it happens to me all the time!!!
Always loved the C3. Thinking about getting another.
Do you ever do this?

Nope. If I have time to wipe it down with detailer spray then I have time to drive it instead.
Cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed, which means that, gasp, they might actually get dirty or, God forbid, even rained on.
Both my Corvettes get a trip to a local hand wash car wash (core business is detailing high-end cars) once every two weeks just to keep them presentable. The goal is then to have them hand waxed once a quarter to keep the paint nice.
Other than that they are basically daily drivers.

Have only had mine for a few weeks! I work from home so do not have luxury of driving every day. I run the California duster over it a couple times a day just to be sure it does not get dusty! And yes it is black!

Another one that does it all the time; either wipe her & her sister down or dust them off ... my wife says she knows I'm a little OCD, but when it comes to my cars I'm really overboard

yep, grab a bottle of the lucas slick wax spray and give it a coat every now and then. i also use the liquid glass spray which to me seems to give a bit more of a glossier shine than the lucas.
