Yep - I figure dust doesn't eat paint and doesn't scratch it just sitting there.

I take it down to the spray-n-wash place and hit it with the sprayer to get it all off + bugs and whatever else I find that shouldn't be there, then bring it home and wash it again after that (to get the crap that got on it from the drive home while still wet), then dry it, then polish/wax it...then sit it in the garage again because I don't want to get it dirty, then it gets dirty anyway from sitting in said garage from dust in the air, then when it gets a decent layer, I feel I didn't get to "enjoy" it being clean...

Rinse + repeat.

Well when the dust settles I just take a microfiber and wipe it down since the wax is already on the car. It comes off like a hot knife through butter. I have a car cover for when I wax it and put it in the garage though I am VERY VERY anal about my car when its clean. I take an entire day to clean it I want it to stay clean as long as possible. I will carry a quick detail spray and microfiber on me in case I hit water or something

I'm not quite THAT anal, but I do know what you mean about wanting to keep my car clean after I spent so much time cleaning it. When I get home, I always check for bug splatters or any other blemishes and take care of them immediately. You know what really drives me nuts? People who don't aim their sprinklers properly. I'm just driving along, minding my own business, go around a curve and an entire patch of road is soaking wet because some a-hole decided to just willy nilly water not only the grass, but the entire road! Those people piss me off.
