No,  I currently drive a very hated car on this forum (and probably in SG too), a low end Opel.

I do a lot of housework and most the of the cooking too. The trick is no kids or dog lol.

Ok so now it all make sense liao.

Because Opel low trade in price makes it difficult to change car, so might as well wash and maintain swee swee kilat to last until scrap 🙂

Haha for this car, it's probably true.  But I've been doing the same for all cars I drove in the past too (all Japanese cars). 😁

I wash my car on my own every week.  Each wash takes about 45mins, including cleaning the interior, engine bay, and rims, and drying up. I really enjoy the process and keeping it shiny. It's like an indulgence rather than a chore to me.

However, I suspect some of my neighbours think I'm weird for washing so regularly. They'll see me and be like "not again?!" Or when they see me going out I might get a comment "going to wash your car?" even though I'm not.

What is your view...Is once a week really too often?

 

whenever go in msia and pass by Legend car wash, RM12 for small sized car

That someone usually is my boss and my big boss brother. We have the habit to even wipe the seat belt.

Don't worry. I have lady boss or others sit in my car too. Meanwhile, I have friends who never allow ladies to sit his car but fools around. Haha

I don't mind rain after washing. Can see the beading, shiok.

[Meanmachine]

Reading many of brother's post are fun.i used to do this one water bottle wash with a magic cloth wipe down on all windows top to bottom ending with rims and tyre shine, yes only a 1.75L used beverage plastic bottle, A piece of cloth for cleaning dirt off and the other for wipe down, plus one special cloth for interior use only.

As my car body was coated with water-wax, it was easy to dry wash my car, usually the bottom part of the body were water marked stained. during raining days. Use dry cloth speed up the process- wiping off rain water as it's toxic to car paint.

Once a week seems just nice! I used to wash my car around 2-3 times a week, and will wax it once a week. By doing so, I've managed to keep my car's paint in good condition despite my carpark being open-air. And hor, washing car is quite therapeutic, just enjoy the process and the end result of your beloved car being all clean and shiny!

I can easily spend 2 hours just washing and drying my car HAHAHA

 

Edit: these days because of how busy and tiring work is, I end up washing my car alot lesser...
