search for Wax On Wax Off thread for exterior/interior cleaning. Andrew uses Autogym products and results are very good for me. I also keep garaged at home under cover at work. I wash on the weekends as well when not pissing down with rain.

Mechanical maintenance just requires log book servicing in my opinion. Good fluids are a must and can be changed out yourself so pretty simple.

Tuning engine is another matter. Find yourself a good mechanic / tuner via search function here and answer will jump out at you.

Give it a bath once a week and thrash the pants off it without any mechanical worry! Service it when you can remember to or every couple of years too

I personally use Motul but there are heaps of threads on these topics use the search function.

Most auto stores stock chamois, AutoGylm ones are harder to come accross best to check on thier site for stockists.

My fav chamois cost me $29.95... it is kinda different..

ArmorAll brand... good quality plain chamois on one side... HONEYCOMB effect on the other.... The honeycomb effect soaks up that water like there is no tomorrow!

Best $29.95 spent IMO

When it rains I back the car out of the garage and give it a wash, the rain doesn't seem to leave water unlike the bloody crap that comes out of the hose.

I'm hearing ya Sethor. Blue Steel Metallic Grey shows sweet FA dirt/dust. Along with my black Oz Prodrive P1's, the beast always looks clean.
