Default How often do you clean your car?

Hey everyone, So since I just got my 06' Monte Carlo SS I have been pretty much **** about everything. If I see something as small as water spots I feel like I need to wash my car lol. This is only my second car and my first car that is this nice. Right now I am at the point where I wash my car nearly every weekend if I have the chance and I generally will use a quick detailer to whipe my car down about 2 or 3 times a week. And it feels like whenever I get broed I go whipe down my car haha. Is anyone else like this or am I just crazy? lol

I try not to often because it can fade the paint, but i go usually once or twice a week. If its a dry sunny week and stays clean ill just run the car duster over it.

I dont wash very often maybe once every other month because it sit in the garage and when does come outside to play the sun is shining and Im off to a car show or cruise night. Only use microfiber towels on your car to wash and to dry the more you touch the surface the bigger chance to get swirls in the paint so use caution every time you touch your paint.

Yea my car already had some paint imperfections, swirls, and has some rust bubbles starting to appear (it was a northern car). I want to get it repainted so bad.

Save your funds and get a quality paint job even if it takes a while to get there.
