Well for any car in the upper price ranges we pay I think it makes sense to take care of it properly (maintenance, washing, etc)---but to each their own-- some don't really care nor have the time so it's all personal preference. But just as starting points: never take it to an automatic wash, don't ever let the dealer wash it, hand wash it yourself using quality microfiber towels to dry, good wash soap, keeping it waxed, etc. You can search the Detailing Forum-- there is a ton of info on there.
