Hello, my name is Mike and I am a washaholic. My addiction was so bad at one time that I purchased car wash by the case. I prefer the premium blends, but sometimes I would buy the lesser quality products if money was tight and it was on sale. I found that there were consequences though. It didn't suds well to lift the dirt and I had to consume a larger quantity to obtain the same glow and state of mind I obtained with the more expensive washes. Because of that I now only purchase the higher quality brands. I have confered with a doctor about my problem but I was told that I am hopeless...but I already knew that.

Once a week with the monte..
Live in a complex so I really can't wash it without borrowing the parents driveway. The 5 minute drive is alot better than risking swirls from a car wash.

My name is Angie and I am a washaholic, suffering from WMS (White Monte Syndrome). I wash at least once a week and I've recently added an addiction: Chemical Guys' Citrus Wash & Gloss. I found it online for about $20.00 and the shine it leaves the car with is like a mirror! You've GOT to try it at least once.....I also have a stable full of Meguiar's products and Meguiar's Professional detail spray my body man gave me. For an even better detail shine, I use Zymol Quick & Easy Spray Glaze. If you want any recommendations on tire products, window cleaners, trim restorers.....JUST ASK, I've tried them all!

Whoa, i usually use the self-wash nozzle spray kind. I wouldn't mind getting to know how to manually wash myself. I nevr waxed or anything. So whats a good starting kit to do this sort of thing.

I just wanna wash for now, learn how to wax latr. What sponges or clothes are best, do i use a hose to rinse off the sudz?

There isn't much to learn about waxing.. literally wax on... wax off :rotfl:

Seriously though.. Just apply wax with an applicator pad or microfiber towel.. let it dry.. then buff it off with a microfiber towel. Simple as that.

You all need to stop washing so much. Washing is very hard on your car, that where most of the scraches come from.
