a-ok 
I am Jon Stanford and I am an enthusiastic car hobbyist. My vehicles tend to be stored as thoroughly clean as possible. I use only the newest techniques I find on the Internet. In fact, I rarely drive while it is raining!
Here is a basic automobile care procedure you can follow. It's simple and affordable, but will take about thirty minutes each week. First, clean twice a week, bad weather or shine. even if it's raining cats and dogs, wash your vehicle. It will pay off big time over the life of your car or truck. If you have to use an automatic carwash.
Wipe down your vehicle's interior on every other carwash. The dirt and lint on your dash, console, map pockets, etc., builds up and will become hard to get rid of quickly., avoid the long term build-up of grime.
Every 4th car wash, that's every two weeks, perform a spot shampoo of your floor coverings and floor mats. It's really simple to do if you undertake this regularly. Get an aerosol can of carpeting products from the supermarket along with a stiff carpet brush. Now brush your carpets and floormats, next vacuum completely. Then vacuum. Then spray the aerosol carpet shampoo on to the filthy areas of your floormats and carpets until they're simply damp but not entriely wet. Scrub into a froth. Vacuum the foam. Now grab a small number of bath towels. Scrub the newly shampooed carpets with your towels.
Once every two weeks, clean your windows. Use a clean microfiber towel and a glass cleaner specific for automotive windows. Look at your windows from multiple angles as you work, preferably in direct sun. Instead of obsessing about quality, be obsessive about consistency. The glues and adhesives and coatings on your car's interior are slowly evaporating, leaving deposits on your interior glass.
Finally, use a concentrated acid-based wheel cleaner from Meguiars called Wheel Brightener. This will prevent the buildup and discoloration of your wheels from brake dust deposits. If you are consistent about washing your car twice weekly, you will have so little dirt and brake dust on your wheels that you can simply wet your wheels, then spray Wheel Brightener, then wet them again to get them fully clean again.
