You need soap and water to do it properly. The only reason your car still looks good and you are getting away with this is because your car is silver, if it was black it would look horrible from all the swirling you are creating. JMHO.

Uh, wrong. I do the same method - dust and Maquire's quick detailer - on my black RT/10, and the results are actually better than soap and water. And, you can definitely tell the difference with a black car, but the dusting and quick detailer method make the black car fairly low maintenance.
I drive my car daily (except when it rains), year round (California), and the last time it was washed with soap and water was about 8 months and 10,000 miles ago. Granted, I do cover it while at work, but thats more to keep bird droppings and junk from getting into the car itself (with the top off). I do use soap and water when/if it gets really dirty, but that doesn't happen unless I drive in the rain, or catch a particularly heavy concentrations of bugs on the highway (which doesn't happen unless I go about 100 miles from here).
