Damaging paint from washing to much?

I work right on the waterfront during the summer so the seagulls unload on my car all of the time...I do not mind washing my car every other day but will this damage my cars paint if I do it so frequently?

The only thing you risk with frequent washing is introducing swirls. The water and car soap will not damage the paint. A dirty mitt will. Do you use the 2 bucket method?

Also bird poop is very destructive to clear coat/paint. It's best to remove it as soon as possible. I keep some QD and a MF in the car to clean it whenever I find any.

wash the car, CLAY the car, BUFF the car and from then on just use a pristine condition mitt making as little passes as possible to reduce marring
