[PuppageVW]

ok so is it bad for my car if i wash it too often? it is not dirty at all rite now, but it hasnt been waxed in awhile and I want to do it cause i am bored. but i washed it like 5 days ago! so should i wait until its nice and dirty or can i go ahead and wash

[Smartiepants]

Nah man, I wash my car tons, may as well wash and wax if your that bored.

[Kor]

It had better not be bad for my car!

I wish I could wax and detail it more often, if you've got the time by all means do it.

[Holksvagon]

I always wash my car like every 3 days, just to get the crap off it... i also like to wax every couple weeks... nuthin better than a shiny car

[VeeDubArt]

i wash about twice times a week

Holksvagon: where did u get ur tint done? was it european auto tinting by any chance?

[Fluidic Digital]

I spend between twelve and fourteen dollars every car wash at Big Bucket -- and I wash every Friday around 2PM. It's religious!

I got my tint done at Certified Radio ojn Whyte. Ave. good guys in there they've been doing it for a while

I was 2 times a week or sometimes one depending on the weather,etc. I wax every month. Vacuum interior once a week along with the swiffer oven mitts .. and then i condition my seats and dash once every month or two months depending on my mood.. clay every 6 i think i'll start that one..

[Holksvagon]

YA that clayin kicks ass.... i'm gonna start a regular routine of that too

14$ at one of those coin places? how the hell do you do that... every week??


i wash my car every 2nd or 3rd day at the local coin wash, just a $2 minute spray down and then i chamoise it outside and buff the wheels. looks sharp and its cheap.

wow you guys wash your cars way too often :P Ryan I follow your methods with the vacuuming and stuff. I am gonna claybar before winter, dunno how to do it...does the Mothers stuff have an easy intruction

[Simon]

yah the mothers claybar comes with instructions on the box. it comes with mothers show-time, which you spray onto the car as a lubricant, and then rub the claybar back and forth and it acts like a putty picking up all the imperfections

[Holksvagon]

works great

[R_Ethug]

yea i just picked up a mothers clay kit from crappy tire.. it works so great.. i clayed mine to remove tar.. but i had some again the other day so I bought bug and tar remover.. holy crap that stuff worked like a charm.. i cleaned up all the tar off my wheels too

for claying though I would say make sure you car has just been washed either by hand or powerwash that hour then make sure you have no tar on it or bugs.. other than that 1 swipe with the clay ate all my sap marks off instantly.. it works great man.. for sure do it before winter then 2-3 coats of wax and your car will look brand new

Another convert to the clay bar. Its the best thing you can do for your car about once or twice a year - better than waxing or any other cleaning process I can think of.

If you clay too often there are diminishing returns though... I will probably only do mine about once a year. I tried doing it a second time about 4 months later, and there was very little contamination of my clay the second time.
