Default Anyone miss waxing their car?...

Well its deep into winter here in NY....running for the home stretch, my car has been in storage since before thanksgiving

anyone else REALLY enjoy waxing their cars, its almost a form of meditation for me, so relaxing.

just trying to make it through the winter

(sorry if this is a bit OT, but its still appearance related!)

I know what you mean. Once I start cleaning my car, I can't stop The wax makes it look purdy too. It's a productive stress reliever. With the radio on of course.

I'm a lazy bum so I use wax-as-you-dry, it's actually not that bad. It doesn't last too long though... I noticed how cold it was when I washed it a week ago that when I finished, the ground was partially frozen .

Me and my friends all wax our cars together... it takes a good few hours... the whole time we're drinking beer making fun of each other's moms... So yeah... I guess I miss it...

Oh, Yeah!!! I'm in So. Cal. where the sun's out all ******* day.... it was actually hot today in So. Cal. So nevermind... I'd rather just drink the beer.

Yeah I miss washing my car 3x a week in my driveway, and I stopped caring about wax after I got hit in my drivers side door, and the rest of my car has the Honda Red Pink thing goin on, so it needs a whole new paint job, I just keep it clean as possible, but no need for wax now.
