1. b92 Says: I always like to have my caddy sts clean and the rims shined three times a week. Friends say that it is beyond anal? Is this a little excessive

2. Owen Says: Well, depending on what type of car you have, or what colour it is.
But, to be honest, no. I know plenty of people who wash their cars more than that, and they drive pieces of absolute s**t. However, you don't have to please your friends, and if it is how you want your car to look, go ahead. You own a Cadillac. Wash it. Clean it. Don't give a s**t about what your friends say. I wash my car at least twice a week, and it makes me happy to have a clean car. No, it's not anal.
Hope it helps, Owen.

most important point made here is wax. second most important point, not stated, is pre-wash/rinse.

if your gonna do it, wax and pre-wash/rinse is the key here.
i would make sure i had a good coat of wax. or two. and always pre-rinse prior to actual wash. over time, repeated washing to this extent, on a black vehicle, will start to show swirls. even with pre-rinse. but wax and pre-rinse will cut it down.

anytime you wash, w/o wax, you damage the paint. to some degree. won't see it at first. but over time............

and black paint will show imperfections real quick.

3x52 weeks a year is a fricki'n lot of washes.

4. Nicki Says: Yes it definitely is, I would say its ridiculous for more than one reason. One important one being water wastage, I doubt your car is that dirty to make it worth it. Girls like a clean d*ck more than a clean car, put your effort into that.

5. Paul S Says: YOUR WARING THE WAX DOWN & SOONER OR LATER YOUR PAINT JOB WILL START WARING DONW...WHATS WRONG WITH USING A MICRO SOFT TOWEL & WIPING IT DOWN??? I HAVE A CLASSIC 1977 OLDS CUTLASS SUPREME I USE IT AS A DAILY DRIVER & TAKE IT TO SHOWS..GOT A FEW TROPHYS TOO...I WASH IT WHEN ITS REAL DIRTY & A TOWEL WONT WORK,OTHER WISE I USE MY TOWEL & FAST DETAILING CLEANER & WAX...TRY IT BY HAND & WHEN YOU STAND BACK & LOOK AT HER YOUR GONNA FEEL GREAT ABOUT DOING IT YOURSELF...IM 65yrs OLD & I STILL LOVE DOING IT MY SELF....I GET GREAT SATISFACTION LOOKING AT MY WORK....OH GOT MY CAR FOR 35yrs NOW....

6. Snow White Says: yea, 3 times a week is overdoing it. shiny clean cars are nice, but is it really worth all that time and money on doing it so often? i say cut down to once a week.
