I get sarcastic comments from a few family members, but only because this is the only car I have hand washed regularly in about 20 years. (my previous DD's were usually filthy) Other comments are usually about how nice it looks.

At least once a week here. I tell my wife it's therapy...she tells me I'm overmedicated.

eecoog06 · 05-30-2014, 06:57 PM

I wash mine almost every Saturday and I get the same thing from people... "You're gonna rub the paint off if you keep it up..." Blah, blah, blah

usually wipe mine down post-driving(brake dust & all), which is probably once a week.

"You missed a spot!"

That's what my neighbors say all the time. I feel like replying "Yeah, that was funny the first three times you said it..." but I lust laugh, nod and wave.

Or the infamous "you can come do my car when you are done!". Yea, screw off.

SSJ455 · 07-13-2014, 08:36 PM

I get that too, but the are the same people who always ask, "How do you keep your car so clean?"

Duh!

Having black cars I wash them every weekend. In order to have a black car you have to be a neat freak and really appreciate its reflective beauty.

It's just nice and clean till I go out the next day and hit a small sprinkle and rain destroys it so starts the process again. Wash the camaro, dry off. Then move to the suburban: wash, chamois like my ass is on fire, then wash again because I couldn't get the water spots in time. Then a few of the neighbors innocently joking about me washing my cars twice. And then you got the other neighbors who are used to a monthly fine by the HOA cutting their grass intentionally after I am resting from washing and vacuuming the inside and finding all the minute water spots. Then here comes another wash from all the dust and grass shavings. My friends just say quit buying black cars. I just say" F-you. Why don't you just try and quit eating dinner!"
-And they wonder how I have the shiniest cars on the block! Ha ha

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only obsessive one. I wash mine 3 - 4 times a week. It's great therapy after a stressful day at work. Lucky for me, all the kids are grown and a very understanding wife.

Chris14RS · 07-17-2014, 09:34 AM

I had a lady tell me,"I hope you keep that thing (Camaro) for 20 years the way you wash it. Its REALLY SHINY THOUGH!!!" hahahaha.

CruisingSpeed · 07-17-2014, 02:11 PM

So after lunch I had the car wash to myself because it's a 50% chance of rain for the rest of the week. What crazy person would wash a car right before it rains? Here's why..
