Maybe hard to believe, but I got it 9-05 and have never washed it. It has never been in the rain or on any long trip. I dust it and use a damp sponge on bugs and a lot of wax and spray on detailer. It stays in the garage on a painted floor and covered if I know I'm not going to drive it for a few days.
Silly, but how I like it..

Poorboys Products all the way. And i use a Porter Cable Random Orbital to apply it all yet remove it all by hand.

About once a week if it doesnt rain. I wax everytime I wash it. I love to keep it clean as possible.
I use Mothers Reflections - they have a new of products. Wax, Leather Care, Tire Care and Mothers Glass Cleaner.
And microfiber towels, they work great.

I think I wash my car too much too. I'm tired of people telling me that my car is going to rust and fall apart cause I wash it too much lol. I use Zaino wax every 5 or 6 washes to keep it looking new.

I only use Zaino on ours. It is very time consuming to apply but no other wax can compare to the shine it will give.
Mine shines like a mirror after applying ICE to it. I don't doubt Zaino is a great wax, but I think the shine I get from ICE would definitely compare to anything else out there.

I prefer to consider it "bonding time" with the Pony!!

Black GT,
Is your signature photo with ICE? Man, I have seen that photo several times, and every time I see it, I can't believe the finish on your car! If that's ICE, I gotta try it on my Mineral Grey. Mine came to life after clay-barring, but I gotta try this stuff......

Thanks,
Mike

The ice does work well. But the zaino stuff that last for like 6 months or w/e i heard can't really be beat. I think they call it a selear. If thats he is talking about...
