good to see that u made it big with adult sites and so on

PM me and give me lifetime membership and ill be ur pal
then we can hang out more everyday so u wouldnt have to stay in ur home and play CS all day
lol jk

since u said u dont leave the house much, i dont see why the car would be dirty enuf to be washed everday

i think once a week is good
but as long as u are using the right products and techniques, washing frequently is fine too
gives u a chance to try out all sorts of products

hey with ur spare time and spare money, u could make a review site for all sorts of car detailing stuff!!!

For me, I think once a week is enough but doing it twice will not damage the paint if you use good technique, chemicals, and microfiber/sheepskin mitt.

Not just 1 site. I sold off the others. Used to have a pretty decent network. Now I just stick to 1 at a time. Less work = more sleep.

That sounds like it could be pretty useful. Maybe I will make another thread on it and see what everyone thinks. Definitely something I would be interested in

As for my car, like I said. I think once a week will end up being best for me. Yeah, I don't like seeing it dirty, but since its enclosed and I dont drive it very frequently, I guess a little dust wont bother it. It just really bothers me when I go out someplace and the car is dusty and all of that.

if it is just dust from parking in the garage, try california duster

take the dry dust off the car instead of washing it everytime

review sites are my specialty heheh

i was the editor-in-chief of hardwareextreme.com
reviewed lots of samsung stuff, helped newegg with their cpluse review site and so on

most of auto stores should have it

here is a CL thread and poll about it

only use it lightly to get rid of thin layers of dry dust
