From your description, your car looks in great shape. Mine is not, due to the limitations mentioned above. I would never wash the car in the parking lot. Only automated carwash was the option, along with the swirls as a free bonus. I didn't do any paint corrections but after Klasse AIO application, the swirl marks are not as visible as they used to be. Since the car is never detailed, its been 3 weeks, I am working on it, panel by panel, and I am happy with the results.
For the winter use, I have made a rinseless wash with Wolfgang Uber Rinseless wash (3oz/gallon of distilled water). As a quick detailer, I am mixing 1oz of this rinseless wash and 1oz of Klasse sealant per gallon of distilled water after the coin-op car wash.
If you do decide to stick to waxes, check Fusso coat. This seems to be in the rage at the moment. Very very close to Collinite 476 in terms of performance. According to Collinite, 476 is the most durable wax they have (so I dropped 845 thought,

Turtle Wax N Seal doesn't stand winter torture, so if you are fine applying it every week, you should be fine.
Turtle wax Seal N Shine cannot handle the winter? Thought it could since it can resist chemicals...
That's not what I read. The durability is very good.
