A quick once over with a microfiber and Quick Detailer (or the like) AFTER it has had a major detail done. Many car guys do this and never wash their car:

That's actually relatively cheap for nice wax.

Are they gold plated? I hear that gold carries digital signals the best.

Ah, unfortunately I only buy my audio cables that are made under a waning harvest moon. Preferably during the month of October. Although, I'm really looking for one of the ones made in a Bosnian cave in perfect darkness. I expect to pay a bit more for the Bosnian ones naturally.
