Love keeping my car clean
Hello, I was just wondering if any1 else loves to keep their car clean everyday even though it is not dirty. I mean like to quick detail it as much as possible. I cant stop and it is 105degrees out here. I am sweating like a pig but I just love to wipe my car down, keep it smooth and soft like a baby's bottom. Am I the only one who has this much time on their hands? I don't think so but I would love to hear from you. Im the MAN:buffing::dblthumb2:

I will QD my vehicle anywhere from zero to 4x per week. It just depends on my mood and how much free time I have. Could I instill swirls, yep it is possible but it is also possible that it won't happen. I find it relaxing and also have a chance to inspect the paint for any issues that require spot-corrections.
Notwithstanding the validity of Silverfox's comments, it's your car and you should enjoy it any way you like. If you instill a few swirls then you get to remove them. :-)

Its all fun and games till you realize you're doing more damage to your car than good.

I use to wipe my cars down daily, until I figured out I had to do more corrections.
It's hard to stand there and see the dust though, kills me to not touch it. Lol
Most of the time I hand wash it twice a week.
Sometimes instead of a wash I'll break out my GG Speed Shine, a bucket of water and several soft MF towels, I spray each paneldownwell, using a wet towel I gently wipe it in on directions with good results but as I said most of the time it's clean being for the two washes I do per week.
Wiping a car daily with DA isn't the way to go IMO but each their own.
It's what one likes to do or not to do really.
I have a vid on YouTube of me using the wash method using the Speed Shine.

I remember as a kid waxing my tonka trucks! When my dad would wax our car I would grab my trucks and start waxing. I learned real quick how to get wax out of the cracks of cars.
Before I knew any better, I used to wax my first car every time it rained. I had a green 73 Cougar with metal flakes. Thankfully I learned what not to do before I caused any damage.
Now I wash my GTO and the family's cars once a week and wax/detail every 2 months or so due to the relentless Texas sun.

I used to be that way as well...... Now I just deal with the daily dust and grime until I can wash/wax again.
On truly bad weather days, the car just stays in the garage. :xyxthumbs:
