I wash my car whenever theres a glimpse of dirt on it pretty much. I dont mind washing it, if I'm bored from school work I take a half hour and wash it. NBD

Unless there's a forecast for rain on Monday, my car gets washed every Monday morning...it's down to a routine now. Drop kids at school, hit Sonic for Vanilla Diet Coke, empty P.O. Box, wash car (quick vacuumof interiorif it needs it)and then drive to work where I towel-dry it (with microfiber towels I keep in my trunk)in the parking lot before going in (my business is a small office so it's not like there's lots of people gawking at me while I do this).

It's every 2-3 weeks where on the weekend I'll wash it in the driveway, liquid clay bar, polish, wax it (and will now be adding the step to put some vinyl protectant on my side stripe!!),clean anything dirty on the inside, tire foam the tiresand clean up all the glass inside and out w/ glass cleaner. I'm too lazy to do that kind of upkeep on a weekly basis.

Person #1u don't know watching u:Be discreet, it's that creepy guy who towels off his car everyMondaywhile wearinghis suit.
Person #2 u don't know watching u: It's cool, if I had that car I'd do the same thing.(I wish I had that car)
Person #1 u don't know watching u: Me too!

Ugot the microfiber towel. Iheard about themon Mother's car show. There supposed to be the best towel todry off ur car with, 100% scratchproof. That's dedication what u got their. Keep up the good work!
