Washing frequently?


Will it hurt my car to wash it every 4-5days.. The only reason I ask is im in Fl right now and we are having a drought and pollen is everywhere. and after washing my car 3days later it is dirty.. Will this be a problem?

i would'nt think so just make sure to wax it every once and a while expsecially if it doesnt bead i would wax it about every two weeks im waxing mine once a week for 2-3 weeks until i build up the wax then probably every two weeks or so after that, or whenever i get board
o and be sure that the rag you use is really wet and soapy cause washing pollen might give you those hair line scratches

nope just make sure you dont leave any wax then it will fade your paint then you will have to buff it out and maybe wet sand and clear coat it

use a wax applicator pad
to put the wax on, in a front to back motion going with the grain of the car. let it sit for 30 minutes then use a polishing cloth
to wipe it off in a circular motion. if your lazy and just feel like washing, then to get a wax like finish use detailing spray.
(it comes in the clay bar kit)
every month or so clay bar your car.

to dry my car i use a chamois towel
others may use a super absorber artificial chamois

hope this helps
