Best place to be autistic about your wash schedule/routine and what wax and shit you use.
>wake up at 6am sharp >gonna wash, polish and wax my car today hell yeah >been months since I polished my shit and done a lot of touch up paint recently so good time for a wax >up early to avoid all the fucking normies commenting like 'heh you missed a spot pal' >get all my products and tools and put them in the car ready >wax, polish, brushes, gloves, foam pads, microfibre towels etc >grab my buckets, hose and such, wash car >wash car with extra strong mix, plus a tiny bit of washing up liquid and rubbing alcohol >this way as much of the old wax is stripped as possible >rinse off car and head inside to get a towel to dry it off >go back out and it starts fucking raining >it wasn't supposed to rain today >deliberately chose this day as it wasn't going to rain, or rain the day after, best chance for the wax to set >so fucking mad I get the urge to just key my fucking car or go drive it into a wall or something >go sit inside and just fucking stare into space considering suicide >go check the weather again, all the reports are updated with rain
Why is looking after a car when you have no garage so much fucking work?

>buy truck >give zero fucks about exterior >keep interior spotless I use to own a detail shop. Loved it about 90% of the time.

Are we greentexting? cool
>do research and load up amazon cart with $200 of polishing supplies >delete cart because I don't actually give a fuck about polishing my car
I washed it recently and it looks good enough.
>Why is looking after a car when you have no garage so much fucking work? It gets easier if you stop giving a shit. Nobody else does, given your paint is in decent shape and your car isn't coated in bird shit.
Did your shop do well? make any money?

>Did your shop do well? make any money? Did well enough to pay the bills. Was mostly fun and shenanigans. I ran into some medical issues though and had to shut it down. Super sucked.
Jeremiah Campbell
>he doesn't get that sense of pride and fulfilment walking out to a car covered in beaded up rain Your loss pal.
Andrew Gonzalez
You can wash and wax and get 95% of the results without spending hours and hundreds of dollars on clay and polish.
Evan Campbell
Who said it needs to be expensive?
My entire 'setup' of soap, waxes, polishes, plastic/window/tyre dressing etc, clay, glazes and so on cost me less than filling the tank in my car. Hardly a massive investment for stuff that will last years.
Your point about time is fair enough.
Ryder Martinez
Do you hand polish? I don't think dual action orbitals sell for less than $100...
Wyatt Edwards
My idea of 'polish' is putting a (((polish))) on which I understand is 99% fillers that only hide the scratches.

Just got a car I give a shit about enough to wash the shit out of. Any guides or tips on washing it? I have clay bar already. Also I live in an apartment complex but around the corner there's an outdoor car wash thing rub by some sketchy Mexicans that's probably a front for something. Do you think they'll give a shit if I take forever to detail my car there? Pretty sure it's a front because there's nobody there 99% of the time I pass it to got to the bottle shop. The other 1% looks like drug deals.
