That's the way I treat mine as well (except for the E90 which needed to be put through an automatic car wash before drop off in Amsterdam, thanks to the springtime pollen in Europe and some nasty geese in Delft) and there is not a swirl in the finish in over 3 years.

You'll find that Space Gray is one of the easiest colors to live with. In the winter when my hoses are put away for over 4 months, I only do a rinse and it never looks like it really needs a good washing.

What color interior did you go with? I can't tell from the pic you posted.

...never mind. I just noticed the light color floormats so I guess it's beige?
