You are. I use liquid tide laundry detergent and turtle wax.

A little over the top. But I do use a clay bar once every 6 months. It makes a tremendous difference in the way the paint looks and feels

Sure but so are bugs and stones at the last Auto-cross. Some folks feel that a wash once or twice a year is good enough. Others (present company included) are Obsessive/Compulsive about the car.
