Not being that keen on cleaning the car, living up a dirt track and owning a black disco...........................thinking about this as a short cut to prolonging the shine.
Any thoughts?

TBH, you're better off getting your local Kosovan Kar Wash to give it the once over every couple of weeks. Snake oil, IMO. 2021 BMW iX3 Premier Edition in Carbon Black ⚡️🔌
2019 Škoda Kodiaq 2.0 Tdi 190 DSG Sportline in Quartz Grey. Excellent vehicle. Gone.
2017 Discovery Sport HSE Auto in Carpathian Grey and Ebony Leather. Modern JLR Junk. Gone.
2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 S Manual in Zermatt Silver with Ebony Cloth (143k) Gone, but now patrolling the Asia section of the West Midlands Safari Park!

autoglym not gonna help here
but if u live up a dirt track why worry at all ?
or get a pressure jet and a long wash brush and soapy bucket -15 mins tops
quick jet off, quick wash all over with soapy brush , rinse, drip dry Illegitimi Non Carborundum

Autoglym , gard-ex etc are all pretty much the same.
Had a couple of cars done by the dealers & then started looking at cheaper / better ways of doing things
You can buy a good wax & sealer system yourself & then just give it a good jet wash as others have said...
I use this a product called Klasse all in one followed by their Sealant Glaze once or twice a year. Just as good if not better & much cheaper  Cheers Ian

Beg to differ, but I reckon that AG Lifeshine does help - in the same way as any other paint sealer.
However, there's no way I'd pay someone else to apply it. Especially not some minimum wage car wash operative who won't give a flying fig if they swirl your paint.
Buy the lifeshine pdi kit off the bay, apply, follow up with AG SRP, then all that mud will slip off like slurry off a grapefruit  Long succession of Disco's since 2001...

You don't like your car then 
Worst type of washing out there are these hand car washes there's a reason why they are quick
Aggressive chemicals and over powered jet washes

Get a load of demon shine, I use it on my ff and other cars and it stops the normal road muck from sticking so much to the rear panels as much and means a quick wash with the ag shampoo and woollen mitt had it looking good again quickly.
Or use local hand car wash and every 2 yrs get it detailed... FFRR Owner, very nearly became a D3 owner
