Whats your relationship with your car?

My 370 gets a nice spray wash once a week but I use an extra $2.50 in quarters.

wow, living large!

k20z3 · 05-30-2009, 08:14 PM

however, using your fleshlight, most likely the exhaust temperatures may make it more than luke warm, I'm thinking it will turn to goo, but get it why the gettin's hot

so much washing....lol......that's overboard

I go longer than I want to in between washings because I worry about swirl marks, even though I use all the microfiber ****.

right now i'm going to wash the car probably 2 twice a month. i was washing once a week but it got too time consuming. but i'm going to use the quick detailer and california duster to keep the car looking like clean in between washes.

i will be waxing once a month and claying the car once a month.

I have a 30 mile round trip commute (see bug thread) and live on a gravel driveway, so I end up washing every week or 10 days, and wax every 2-3 months. She is stored in the garage so she doesn't take as much sun/bird abuse that some other cars do.

In the winter time when it rains incessantly I only wash once a month or so.

k20z3 · 05-31-2009, 12:21 AM

When its summer I just use california duster and detailer spray..unless it rains

frost · 05-31-2009, 12:22 AM

^ california dusters reduce my washing by like, half. Good call.

k20z3 · 05-31-2009, 12:43 AM

Ya, with a good wax it has like a wax residue that you can see then just rub it in more

She's owned property, treated right and kept nice and clean, but sometimes she just needs a good spanking and to be driven' hard

Every wash means, every door jam/rubber gasket gets wiped down. Rear hatch gets raised and wiped. Hood lifted, wiped completely along with any water or dust spots throughout the engine bay. Yes, the license plate is removed so no dirt is safe hiding behind the plate. Plates get waxed when the car does as well.

For the weekend washes, the rims are removed and complete rim is cleaned, inside and outside, along with cleaning of the calipers and tire wells. Just to make sure I dont aid in the accumulation of dirt on the underside...........she stays parked in the garage on rainy days and I drive my other ride instead.

On the weekend wash, once drying is complete, I will apply the tire shine, and the car wont be moved for about 3 hours. Just to ensure the Black Magic is completely absorbed by the rubber and there will be no messy black spots on the side of the car when I do drive it later on. I even go so far as to wax the glass and rims to ensure dirt, dust, and bugs slide right off.

Now THAT is dedication! Or craziness! Joking, that's pretty amazing man!

My relationship with my car is purely sexual - I wouldn't want anyone to think I have feelings for it - it's only a car ffs.

Celinicus · 05-31-2009, 01:22 PM

I try and wash it twice a month. But that all depends on how disrespectful the birds want to be around my place. I'm thinking of mounting a wooden owl by my parking spot...
