Clean mine after every use,plus it has never been out in the rain. cleaned in and out, plus under rear bumper, then waxed! . I just love it spotless,it cleaner now than when i picked it up. Sad i know. At least iam not the only one. Very Happy SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Claying, yes and no

Yes: it's worth doing as it doesn't harm doing it once or twice a year to prep the paint fir a decent polish then wax

No: there are newer products out, Iron X or Wolf chemical break duster (can be used all over) which remove the deposits in the paintwork without all the rubbing you do with clay, though a bit a claying might be needed also

My suggestion would be to visit "Clean your car" at Huddersfield and disscuss what your wanting with them, they a pro detailer shop so you'll be getting product which may be better than halfords sell
