i usually wash my own car every other week. my car right now is too damn dirty and it's cold outside.

if you guys dont wash your own car do you guys take it out to a carwash place? i do sometimes

 

I used to when I had an accord. Then I noticed massive swirl marks and tiny scratches. NEVER AGAIN.

 

There are some times when you can't help but to have a dirty car (rain, etc) but I go insane and end up washing my car in the middle of the night, on my lunch or other strange times like that.

There are a couple other G's at my work and they are dirty a lot of the time. It just makes me feel better about my car.

 

Obviously you guys care so much about the look of your car. I bet if your car gets in a heavy accident, you guys would sell it after it has been repaired, because you can not stand it when your car is not in perfect condition.

 

Yep, I'm the same...HATE a dirty G. My wife came home from work the other day, after dark, and wondered WTF was I doing washing the car in the dark! It was the only time I had! And besides, I had a small worklight :-)

 

I get mad when a piece of my wife's hair is left on the seat/dash/whatever. I also don't allow food or liquids in the car except water.

I wash my car weekly by hand during the summer, spray booth in the winter but I will never use their brush. I know it won't be clean but it's mainly to get rid of the salt.

 

Once when i was washing my car, my bucket of water was turning slushy...

 

+1, it's therapy for me as well.

 

im still in school so i wash mine whenever it gets dirty, usually 1-2 times a week.

 

I guess it's a priority thing. If the wife is happy... move on to the G.

 

+1million...getting acidic bug shiit and insect guts off quickly is a must. I have a quick detail and microfiber in the trunk. This one time at band camp , (*at the gym) I came out to 15 bird droppings and it was late so I could not wash. I drove home and lightly used the quick detail on each spot and then washed the car the next day. I too roll in a clean G 99% of the time.


*damned area has a canopy of large oak trees and seasonally(spring/summer) thousands of black bards hang around and shiit on cars in the street and all cars in parking lots covering one full intersection/2 streets and all 4 businesses on the corner

 

I'm glad to see I'm not the only person. Both my wife and my little sister thinks I have a problem, because I'm always cleaning my car. It's not always a wash, but what I call a DDD (daily dust down) lol. I just wish I can do something about the stupid brake dust. I don't want to replace them though because they stop on a dime and that's more important to me than having no brake dust.

 

I can't stand my car being dirty, it's been hard this year to keep it clean, I have been to the car wash, I'm not into getting frostbite on my hands anymore keeping my car clean, so the car wash nearby is a good alternative. The weather has been so bad here, I am behind on giving my G a good wax, hope it warms up soon! Lot's of dirty cars around here right now!

 

Keep it clean = good

 

you take pride in a clean car and thats cool. I am sure you know its an object that can be replaced and people we love can not be replaced so and so forth...but you know all that stuff.

BTW, I replaced my front brake pads (new rotors too) with ceramic pads and it stops great, with no squeeks and NO DUST.
