Twice a day every weekday.

On that bennys unlimited.

Eventually it'll scratch enough of the clear so I wont even have to sand all that much before bedlining.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually bad for the clear coat or something

Never has been an issue, I'm not super religious about it, I may only go once a month depending on what it looks like or how the weather has been etc.

If it becomes an issue I'll just repaint it.

brake dust on the rims. Stupid Germans.


My Audi used to be absolutely horrible with this. Brake dust on the wheels combined with black color showing ever speck of dirt, I used to have to wash that thing weekly and it was still constantly dirty. I would wash, clay bar, and wax it, 5 days later it would look dirty as hell. Will never own a black car again.

Have you ever bought a new car and were able to pay it off in the same year? Or when making it custom, put all the work in yourself? Literally replacing and building it up..

Or for that matter just taking pride in things that are yours..or are you the guy with the grown up lawn?

Every Tuesday, when it's only $3 at Pelican Point.

Great deal, $2 more for the tire shine. Free Vacuum.
I saw a new one yesterday Uptown, so they are everywhere now.

I've paid cash for a new vehicle. I don't understand what that has to do with it.


I don't customize vehicles.


I'm not knocking keeping it clean, I just don't get the pride aspect of it

Every year at the end of hunting season.

I do vacuum and wipe out the inside every couple of weeks. I drive a truck, it is not a piece of art. It has a function. It moves me and my stuff where I want to go. If it has a little mud or dust on it I dont care.

I like for things to look good and dont mind working to make them. It's why you mow a yard..sometimes people plant the grass they want sometimes people just keep what is there but you mow it, for it to look right. Upkeep. And a lot of the time after someone is done, they say "damn my yard looks good".

I do it for me more than anyone else, vehicle enthusiast and the work gives me a reason to get away from everyone and ironically relax.

It's actually a pet peeve of mine for it not to, or to have a layer of dust. Keep in mind I'm working with mirror black.

Sometimes I bring it to a place and let the brothas do it, sometimes I will myself. Listen to some musoc, fire one up and take some me time away from everyone else.



Doing more harm than good, baw.

Little to no asphalt in Dallas, cars stay fairly clean when it doesn't rain.

That said 1-2 x month, black cars.

Depends what it is.

Denali and Camaro (garage): Maintenance wash once a week, full detail every few months.

Wife's car: When I can't stand how dirty she lets it get.

Blazer: When it rains.

That's cool I guess. I just look at vehicles as tools. My truck is lucky to get washed every quarter.

It's pointless to wash during hunting season. During the summers months I hit the auto wash once a week because I like it clean while pulling my boat.
