Damn you guys are crazy. I can't go 2 weeks without washing my car, that's my upper limit. I love her though.

I try to wash it once a week, but usually ends up being every 2 weeks, but after a week without I will usually give it a full body wipedown with quick detailer and microfiber if not washing, or a waterless car wash if it's more than light road grime Even it's a silver car, crap builds up fast. dust and shiz, tar, bird droppings... get that shit off my paint asap. Fuck I carry a bottle of quick detail and microfiber in the trunk.
Every 6 months or so do I full detail with wash, clay bar, wash, polish (if needed), wax or sealant I usually do all my washing and detailing myself... I don't trust other people with my car, except very expensive detail places which are very expensive so I just usually do it all myself unless I am extra lazy and have the cash...
You guys must just not give a shit about your paint

I just don't give a shit about cars, .
If it works right and gets me where I need to go, I'm satisfied.

Yeah, personally I'd never spend a lot of money on a car. I just want it to be reliable and get good mileage. Which basically means I never wash my car. Bring on the rain.

When I had a car I'd try and do it once every couple months. Always did it by hand sometimes it just feels good to take care of the shit that you own.

Yeah I only let one or two places hand wash my car when I'm lazy cause they do a real good job... but I'm anal AF. I use the two bucket method when I wash to remove any contaminants from the mitt after each section... one bucket with suds, one bucket with water and gritguard at the bottom to scrape anything off. Wash one section of car, rinse off mitt in water, repeat. This minimizes the chances of getting any scratches from particles on the mitt or leaving swirl marks in the paint. Especially noticeable on black cars. I also have a separate wash mitt for my wheels. Wheel wash mitt never touches the paint and paint wash mitt never touches the wheels. Brake dust on my paint fuck that shit I really need to get a pressure washer and a foam blast cannon so I can do shit proper.

hey man, people are into different stuff. I fully understand to most people a car is just transportation from point A to B. To me it's a valuable toy. To each his own. I like to take care of my shit, especially the really expensive shit.

well, that's all fine and dandy. nothing wrong with that.
i think that some people here just don't care about their car because their car is not the one they really want, probably. so it's not that they don't care about their paint... it's that their paint sucks anyway.
no need to paint people as slackers because they don't have expensive toys; is all i am really getting at. no pun intended.

Well, I don't have the car I really want either, I just got the one I could afford :P I don't see where I painted others as slackers? Just for me personally, the thought of not washing my car for a year freaks me out, lol.

An Audi is about the nicest car I would want. At best I'd wash it twice a year.

You guys must just not give a shit about your paint
but i guess i was just being nitpicky. maybe you were more painting yourself as a non-slacker, more than anything.

oops, i meant A car they really want. some people have cars that makes them want to jump off a building.

when i see dirty cars on the road... like those really filthy ones... i wanna see them Mad Max'd off the highway in a firey explosion. the dirt would probably heighten the explosive level, too, come to think of it. *FFFOOWSH*
