regular washing and topping up of your lsp is the only way to keep ontop off it im afraid, theres no magic cure to stop crap sticking to your car, you can only minimise it.

that is the key here... the smoother the surface the less things that can stick to it  :smug:

claying, sealant and wax will all improve this... making even muddy water bead... leading to the point where you will only need regular gentle cleaning

one of my regulars is so easy to keep clean now I persuaded them to wax...
