Exterior washes - numerous.

Here's the interior story:
1) Rear seat almost never used - less than 1% of the time
2) front passenger seat use - maybe 3% of the time
3) No food or drink - only a couple exceptions in 2 years
4) car is my commuter. Never parked outside, so never track any road grime, snow, salt, etc into the car.
5) I'm generally wearing suits and leather-soled dress shoes. No dirt.
6) Don't like wind noise - so windows and sunroof are closed 99% of the time. (hearing problem).

So - no dirt. No grime. No dust. No fingerprints from kids. No nothing. Other than 100 gas receipts in the center console, not much to clear out of the car at all. It's a paradox. I'm so anal retentive about keeping it clean, that I don't have to keep it clean. (Didn't Yogi Bera say that?)

My doorsill plastics are still in place, I'm gonna leave them on 'til time comes to sell :-( and I'm always careful getting in and out, anyway.

Removed the Brampton dust eh? I don’t know about being stock anymore. As I understand it Rambit has his in a giant zip lock baggie in an unknown underground garage parked on blocks. Rumor has it you can still smell Grunt’s cologne that he wore when he built it.

I try to be careful. My sills look good but my clown feet are kicking the $hit out of the speaker grill.

I sometimes leave a shoe mark on my door panel as well, with my 12.5 size shoes. Go get the Magic Eraser from Mr. Clean. It works wonders on removing the shoe marks left on the door panel.

I have had my protective covers off of my door sill plates, on my 300SRT since day one. Not a scratch on them. But she rarely leaves the garage.

My Ford truck was lifted and I used the door sill with one shoe to get out of the truck everyday. When I traded the truck for the Magnum last summer. I had worn away the paint, primer and down to the metal. But my sneakers had made the metal all smooth and not rusted.
