    Damn how do you people have lives if you're taking 8 hours every weekend to wash your car? Shit, I wash my daily driver like once every 2 months. I also have a Fiero showcar and I only wash it every month (it never leaves the garage anyways...). And the last time I waxed the show car was last year. I've never waxed my daily driver.

    And yeah I prefer to wash the cars myself. I just do such a better job. Although, Carnett's Car Wash (I think that's what it is) down on Austell Rd. does a VERY good job, they get the car as clean as I do and it only takes 1/2 the time.

    It takes me about three hours to do a good wash/wax. Maybe three and a half if I want two coats of wax.

    I am so picky that I would feel like I have wasted my money if I took it to a carwash.

    So your saying you use a "new mitt" on a filthy luxury car but not a well maintained civic. Dirt is dirt and it doesnt matter if it comes off a $100,000 car or $500 beater it is still dirt and will damage the paint.

    Some of the luxurious aura may wipe off maybe...?

    buy an orbital buffer greatly reduces the time needed to apply and saves you from some madd tennis elbow.
