Is "вы" always capitalized in writing when you are addressing only a single person?  Or is this optional and you can leave it uncapitalized? Also, what about other forms of the word, such as

вас / вами /вам...

I assume they are also capitalized just as "вы" is?

What about the "вы"-based adjectives : ваш / ваши / ваша / ваше?

Thanks!

I strongly recommend that you capitalize вы if you're directly addressing someone you don't know personally or someone you know personally but address вы in everyday life.
Otherwise, it should never be capitalized. Including the stupid ads :)
