Re: How often do you wash/zaino/wax your G?

what about those of us who CG? haha. [img]/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

when it was warmer out, i'd wash/CG as often as every weekend or every other weekend, depending on weather conditions, of course. i was obsessed with keeping the G clean. i think being on this forum initiates the obsession.

Re: How often do you wash/zaino/wax your G?

I am quite obsessed also, even with the dirt-hiding Desert Platinum color. It depends much on the weather and what I have been driving through. For example, I washed it Tuesday, but it rained Wednesday/Thursday and by the time the roads dried Friday it was more dirty than it had ever been. So it got washed again Friday.

I plan to wax it every oil change.

I wash at "least" once per week. I've had my coupe for 3 weeks now, washed it 5 times, clayed once and 2 coats of Crystal Guard.

Re: How often do you wash/zaino/wax your G?

I agree with G35_4EVR...I was at least once a week. I've had the car for a month, and when I can't wash it...I take it to a car wash and do the high pressure touchless thing (not the automated but the manual). I've probably washed the car about 10 times already!

I wash every Friday so I'm clean for the weekend and sometimes one other time early in the week. Throw a coat of Zaino on once a month alternating Z5 and Z2.

Re: How often do you wash/zaino/wax your G?

Ok, I have to update my previous post.

I have now washed my car 6 times in the past 3 weeks and applied the 3rd coat of CG yesterday. Man, I can't believe we hit the upper 80's in the first week of March! That's warm even for Orlando.

I completely wash at least once a week. I use Speed Shine from Giots Garage a few times during the week to keep her shiny

Re: How often do you wash/zaino/wax your G?

OK, here's the skinny. She's only 6 weeks old and been hand washed 10 times. Currently has 4 coats of Zaino (not counting the lovely Z6 detailing spray). Clear Bra and Front lights only have 2 coats of Zaino, and they're jealous of the rest of the car...
"Once a week" is for people who don't have their priorities straight (J/K)...

Re: How often do you wash/zaino/wax your G?

You wash twice a day!!! Please tell me you're a student or retired. I wish I had the time to do that because I'm just crazy enough to do it.

I bow to your cleaning abilities.

Disregard my reply above. It was meant for another thread and I have no idea how it ended up here.

I know, I know....user error!

Re: How often do you wash/zaino/wax your G?

I try to wash mine once a week depending on the weather, last time it went two weeks in crap weather, so it took a lot longer to wash, I wax like every two months or so. I used to be worse when I was younger, LOL, everyone told me I'd wash the paint off!
