I have an open parking and there is a lot of dust in my area. For my Windsor EV, the cleaning practice I follow is to pressure wash (Dylect Pressure Washer) the vehicle first to remove all the dust. Then I simply wipe it off with 500 GSM quick drying cloth (ShineXPro). Post that I put it in the car cover (Official MG Cover) until next use. I never really valued car covers, thinking of it as more of a headache, but it does keep your car shiny new. It protects from dust and UV rays.

Once the car is used, I don't put the car cover until the next wash as the car cover and dust may scratch my car. I make sure that whenever the car is used, it is washed in the next 48 hours. So this way, I wash my car using the above method a maximum of 3 times a week. But I don't use the car daily, so mainly after washing it goes into the cover. So on average I wash it once or twice a week.

Also, once a month I do a shampoo wash. So for that, I first pressure wash the car to remove dust. Then, I apply shampoo foam (3M) using the pressure washer. Post that I rub the foam with a mitten (Softspun) and then pressure wash the car again to wash off the foam. Lastly, I dry it with the 500 GSM quick drying cloth.

I don't use any kind of products for the paint like some wax because I have very limited knowledge of it. I am reading this thread for more info on it. I have also read that many people use the Jopasu duster to remove daily dust. I saw it on Amazon but I was worried that it would scratch the paint hence I avoided it. But incase someone has used it would be great if you could share a long term review. Also, if anyone feels I am doing something incorrect or I should add anything to my car care process please let me know. I would be really grateful

I have been using Jopasu for years now. It appears to be soft on the car and doesn't drag dust like other handle dusters do. My cars are quite shiny but not free form scratch/ swirl marks. Here's what I do generally:

1) Keep the cars in cover (waterproof rubberized cover)
2) After use use Jopasu every evening and cover it.
3) Wash the car only when its sticky dirty.
4) Every few months, I'd wash the car and put in a layer of TurtleWax Spray ceramic + sometimes the spray ICE Detailer too. This makes the car shinny and Jopasu very smooth on the car and dust just moves quickly.
