How Often Do You Wash Your Camaro? - Page 3

danhr · 07-06-2018, 10:16 PM

Do waterless washes count? If so.... then like an absurd amount for me. Usually in the evening, after the family is bed, if I dont have anything else going on, I will get a bottle of Adam's waterless wash and hit a few body panels... like front bumper, hood, etc. Or if those are already generally clean, I break out detailing spray or brilliant glaze .....

When she is a dirty girl... I give her what she needs.

My car sits 350+ days a year with the car in the garage under a car cover.

Brother from another mother. Mine is also a garage queen that has been "washed" twice since Nov 2016. I did ceramic right after I got it and since I only take the car out when it's dry and the moon is in the right phase, it barely gets dirty.

Brought The Mistress home one year ago today.

She has had about ten washes over the twelve months.

Mine is black.
Seems about 100 to 200 miles. Bugs and dust.
Which, can be about once a week to about once a month depending on how often I get to drive it.

Currently washing the 2SS when it looks dirty. could be a few days or a month between washes depending on the weather and environmental conditions.
Its my only car so it does see the road +-5 out of 7 days a week.

Twice a year maybe. Then again, it mostly sits under a dust cover in the garage. I drive it a couple times per week on weekends maybe.

I love to rub on my car as much or more than anyone, but this car's paint mars up so easily! The more you wash it, waterless wash it, detail spray it, the more swirls you are installing. I finally installed a ceramic coating, and now I have to wash it much less frequently.

EASILY, the most abrasive way to wash is the weekend detailer who uses one or two inexpensive mf towels and waterless wash. The ratio of liquid to dry surface interaction is not enuf to protect against microscratching. Ive polished out a few cars where the owner did this for a few years......
