For me the process is: rinse, wash with Meguiars Gold wash, rinse, dry with water magnet microfiber, wipe wheels and inside door jambs/sills and then apply tire dressing (Meguiars Endurance every other wash). Finally, she goes into the garage and I cover her with her nice fleece car cover for the evening. The total time is about 30 - 40 minutes. I can't help myself. I have to start the week with a clean car. I do this at least once per week.

It is some kind of sickness or perhaps I am acting out some kind of childhood trauma that is locked in my subconscious -- I don't know. I think I need professional help.

I too must drive a clean car so this part we share the same sickness. I just hate washing cars. QD is okay. Something about pulling out the hose makes it feel like a huge deal. actually I hate how my finger tips dry out when I wash cars. It screws up my keyboard playing. Maybe this is why I hate washing cars.

I am in the same boat. If given the opportunity I will wash my cars every weekend. Something about a dirty car rubs me the wrong way.

It is the cross we have to bear.

Talk to me about your shopvac: what kind do you have? I'm still in need of getting something new, cuz the handheld I'm using just doesn't cut it.

I use a cheepo 5gal from Sears I got during one of the year-end sale. The funny is the attachments I bought for it costed as much as the vac itself.

. Haha

I use the blower mode to dry the car, especially my 3pcs wheels need air to dry. Gets water out of the nooks and side mirrors making the drying process go very quick.
