It's 'marked to market' accounting!

I actually thought it was Insurance Premium math.

There's only two kinds of people in this world that don't have beards. Women and children.

Men who enjoy their income source should be added as well. Some jobs prohibit facial hair...like mine.

Wish I said this as a Yankees bullpen arm but nope...

Damn how’d I miss beard talk SMH.

Question: How often do you wash your car? For those that own one obviously, lol.

Weather permitting I try to wash it about every two weeks minimum. If it's buggy or pollen I tend to wash every weekend if I can. I like to get up early and wash the car since the driveway gets sun most of the day.

As for my actual process:

1) Suds soak/bath - I have a Chemical Guys Foam Blaster and use with Chemical Guys Mr. Pink. Just a quick suds bath to get the surface wet and get off anything that is already loose.

2) Wash the car by hand - I use a mitt to wash the body of the car and two separate brushes to wash the tires and rims. Two bucket method (one with soap - I use Meguiar's Gold Class - and the other with a grit guard and water for rinsing). I do the roof, hood, front bumper, rear, sides and each section I go over by hand twice.

3) Drying - Depending upon my energy level I'll use some waffle towels to towel up any excess water. I recommend this if your paint is prone to spotting or if your water source is hard and spots everything up.

4) Windows - I wash them while washing the car, but I also go back and clean them with a window cleaner and microfiber rag.

5) Touch up - Of course you're gonna miss a spot. I'll usually go back (typically in the evening or whenever the car surface is cool) and clean any noticeable spots with a quick detailer and microfiber rag.

Weather permitting it gets washed weekly.

And then it gets detailed monthly.

No the question was about your car. Not you beard.

re: Off-Topic

Does leaving your car out in the rain qualify as washing it?

Only if you run outside and squirt dish soap on it when you see the storm coming.

Wow. You guys are seriously putting me to shame with your attention to your vehicles. I should do much better than I do. But it's pretty infrequent for me. At best once a month or every other month.

Yeah. And insurance claim payout math would be 2+2=.05

My car is a POS, I never wash it

re: Off-Topic

When I get my new car I plan on washing it once a week and waxing it once a month.

That'll probably last one week for washing, and one month for waxing...
