I'm OCD but when I drive my car, I drive it hard and I do drive in the rain!

I don't drive my LFA in the rain though.

The reason you don't drive the LFA [at all] is because your wife won't let you...

Yes, I clean and vacuum it once a week. No smoking, and no hand prints on the outside. Keep cloth nearby to wipe hand prints off near doors. I park way out in any parking lot to avoid door dings.

I keep mine in the truck, along with 5 clean towels for the car wash..

I'm pretty OCD. Nothing other than my two Yeti mugs visible in the car (20oz for coffee and 30oz for Diet Mt. Dew). Both mugs are black just like the car. Nothing kept in the door pockets or on the dash. Microfiber cloth in the glove box and it gets used daily. With the exception of 2 or 3 cold winter months here in Oklahoma, I wash the car weekly, touchless and I dry and detail myself. My glove box has the manuals, the microfiber, and a leatherman multi-tool in it, nothing else. Because my GS doesn't have a sunglass holder I did have to buy a clip holder for my visor. My work badge goes in the small coin compartment to the left of the steering wheel, nothing else. the center console cubby is, in contrast, my free for all. Anything else I want in the car only goes in there; phone charger, hand sanitizer, small metal cup for change, pens, lotion, chapstick, tire pressure gauge, etc. My trunk has an umbrella, my regular license plate (since I have a personalized plate), road hazard kit, and a small cooler.

Now, after reading this thread, my glovebox will now be the home for a swiffer duster, so the microfiber won't need to be used for dusting.

As for driving, I use my cars. My GS is my baby but it also takes care of me regardless of the weather conditions. AWD for weather conditions and for fun. I have the clear film on the front and will never own a car without it again. Definitely drive in rain and use my rain sensing windshield wipers and they make me happy because I'm 'Merican and it's 2018 and that's how I roll! lol.

We have a G37 convertible in the garage that doesn't see any bad weather. It's really my wife's summer car. She drives her Infiniti QX60 during the Winter, when it's raining or when she needs more than two seats to haul kids around. She's more OCD about her two cars than I am about mine. She thinks I'm a neanderthal. lol

Good looking cars! What's your 'go to' products for maintaining your black cars? I have an 18 GS in Caviar.

1) Drive mine in the rain and snow.
2) Drive it hard and enjoy it.
3) Take to car wash every couple weeks or so.
4) Do keep garbage box in back for wrappers and stuff and empty during fuel fill ups.
5) Lexus Winter mats now, and change to Lexus carpet mats in spring.
6) Have the microfiber cloth in the center council and trunk
