1. before any 1200 meet
2. a once every couple month'er
3. only the good stuff - meguires detailer's gear, i know the vic distributer so get hold of the niiice gear for washing and caring for my cars

for those that use the soap in those big carwash places you should wax and polish your car way more often !!!! the quality of the stuff they use is great for degreasing and stripping paint of any protection thats on it.

I would be careful using that truckwash stuff. Its ideal to cleaning trucks with nasty grease and dirt marks. Its a bit corrosive, so i would be concerned about that fancy paint job that you have just had done!!

would stick with car only soaps...

Oh and yeah, when Daisy was my daily, about once every 3 months, but since bieng stipped down, hmmm never.....

I used to wash my cars fortnightly before the drought but now I only wash them every three months or so.

I am hoping to install a water tank shortly to fill the pool and wash the cars more often.

Mine is a daily driver. I definitely wash it once, maybe twice a year. Being white it doesn't show dirt much.

I used whatever I can find for soap. Supposedly it should be mild.

1. Spose I wash it fortnightly or monthly depending on when I set the time aside
2. It's a daily\weekend racer

Amway Car wash....it's good stuff
Ditto on that, Love the stuff and the silicone wax, and sometimes I throw in dish magic to break up some hard bits. It also makes a pretty good degreaser for when I've gotten dirty working on my car or what not.
