Well i just washed my car again after last weeks 15 min down pour that was just ment for me.lol.
Was a good show but iam washing my car after every time we go out and iam going to wear the new paint job out.lol.
Since iav been in a club the last 7 years it seams to rain more and is harder to keep my car clean so it looks its best when it gets taken out.And also because i have a colorbond gararge my car gets dusty as well so after 2 weeks it needs a dust down.
Need to put it in a plastic bubble.lol.
So how often do you wash your car and how fussy are you.Tell us what you do to keep your car clean and how long you willing to spend on it.For me its 1 day and thats about as long as i like to spend on it.I like a clean car but couldnt have a show car.

I think Ive got to much product on mine, the dust just falls off. I havent cleaned it since last weekend and it still looks ok. We went to the drivein last night with it where it rained all night and I will probably leave it till next week. A real quick wash and a quick detail afterwards is all it will need, probably spend 2 hours on it. Generally if I dont drive it for a week or so it gets a bit of dust over it, I can generally get this off by just blowing it off and then a quick detail.

Now for a show its a whole different story. Can easily spend a whole day then.

Also what would you rather, a show car that you cant drive or a driver that looks good at the shows. Its not going to remain perfect but is still a standout.

Now that i'm using my car daily, i wash her every 2 weeks (weather dependent), unless there is a show then the day before, if not two days before to do the interior and exterior. It takes me up to 1 hr to wash, then 30min to shamy followed by as long as it take to polish/detail the car. However the more product i use, the easier it is to keep it clean.
