Default No Wash, No Was
Haven't washed or waxed the car since mid-April. Drive 13 miles each way work and back daily, park in parking lot with hundreds of other cars near an airfield. Looks pretty good!

When I ordered a CoverKing windshield sunshade, I received a free auto brush. Has some sort of wax impregnation. Just brush the car every 5 days or so, dirt comes off, and not much seems to stick to the slick surface left. Working fine so far.

I haven't ever washed my car. I dust it every day and quick detail it when needed - i.e. bird crap, rain residue etc.

On deep thought, I think you might have been right. I washed it once around June 6th or so after a 1000 mile road trip. I had to get the bugs off! Sorry for misleading--it had slipped my mind!

True! But still haven't waxed. Rain beads. Dirt washes off in rain. Duster works fine.

And I didn't have to admit the mistake! I could have lied...

lol, its ok my StopTech pads make me wash my wheels more than I have to.

I haven't talked to him in a few weeks but I thought he had to wait until later in the year for them to arrive.

Oh mine is clean. I clean my Z pretty much every day (sometimes twice a day). I just don't wash it.
