Do you folks wash your car more than most other car owners? It seems that I have COD (obsessive compulsive disorder...LOL) when my ride starts to be anything but showroom new. Tonight, when it cools down a bit, I'm heading out to the manual car wash and will buff the puny up. It just feels so nice when the car has a mirror shin and everything is perfect in this imperfect world. That turtle wax ice is great stuff; it's all I use since acquiring my car used 2005 pony two weeks ago. Also, is there a "old fashioned type wax" that will protect longer and add more shine? I used to use something called Liquid Glass on my previous cars which was awesome; the cars finish actually looked like glass, but the whole process is very time consuming from removing the old wax with a remover to applying the polish with a non mechanical hand buffer.

What do ya'll do to keep your car looking great?

About the same. Dust every day, was and wax as required. Keep a spray bottle of quick detailer on hand.

I also used to use Liquid Glass (not the one with the Corvette on it) red and black can if I remember, and I havent been able to find it in years, but it was awsome!! I use Pinnicle that i found on autogeek.net, that goes on/off easy. Not sure how it will last since it's carnuba.

Black GT

When I drive it I wash it that night before putting it in the garage, and I use Turtle Wax ICE on occasion.

I had to put clear plastic packaging tape around my temporary tag, because the cardboard and lettering was falling apart from the water soaking into it.

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.

I'm a Meguiars man. I don't consider it washing, my car is not permitted to get dirty. I California duster my baby daily (even when I don't drive it) and QD it every two or three days. This keeps her in pretty good shape for her weekly (on rare ocassion every two weeks) bath, buff and monthly wax. My biggest fear is buffing the clearcoat off. My wife thinks I spend more time with my car than her (probably true on the weekends), I tell her that "Mustangs don't get headaches and I can always leave the seat up".

For wash, I just picked up some cheap stuff at Autozone.
Wax I have Black Magic hand wax.
Tire shine, Black Magic Wet Tire, or something like that. And I use ArmorAll if I run out, they both work nice.
I clean the inside once a month or so, of dust that is, I don't leave any trash or anything in it
