Cleaning your car often is good. It will help get rid of anything that can scratch your car, tar and contaminants.

You shouldn't need to Polish/Wax it as often though. Just a wash and dry and possibly more sealant every now and then.

I used to wash mine twice a week. Ive cut down to one wash per week and a polish every two weeks.

One a week is about right, though today is the first time the pug has been cleaned for ages.

mine is getting foamed and pressure washed every day, which gets 95% of all the crap off it without me having to touch it with a wash mitt and takes 15 mins :)

i was joking about the once a month.....

I usually take mine to the jetwash on a saturday morning - does wonders for my hangover

just wash mine the old fashioned way once a week! Shampoo and rinse, then dry it !

I wouldn't have a clue where to start with all these fancy clay bars and stuff !
