just wondering how much do you wash your car?? i love have the feeling of a clean car, both inside and out, especially when you spend 2+ hours the feeling is great when you finish

Every 2-3 weeks, or after the birds really have at it. I would do it more but I live in an apt and there isn't a hose available.:mad:

after the rain leaves and/or when the birds have at it. then there's the bugs, but in winter, my fav season, they're all hiding!! whoo hoooo.

After I posted that and reading your posts I filled out the order form and sent the check. I just hope it does not take that long because my car is really in need again. I noticed tonight after my washing that there were 2 bugs on it that did not come off which must really mean there is no wax up front because what few bugs get the chance to die up there come right off with simple washing. Maybe I will go ahead and apply another Meguiar's coat so I don't get any damage in the mean time.

For the record I never let Bird droppings sit on my car for more than a few hours which would be the time I'm in work from morning to lunch or lunch to night. That will eat straight trough your paint in no time flat, especially on the crappy Toyota paint that we have.

I wax more than once a week. I use Zaino also, so the more you put on the shinier your car gets. I always wax on the weekend and I try to get at least two coats of Zaino on.

Now that Zaino released ZFX, I will be able to get even more coats on during the weekend. I'm pretty sick, huh?:p

I try to every week, but in reality it's more like every other week :)
