Washing Your Car

What do people wash there car with and how often?

I use a snow foam pre-wash (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIppGipTkoQ) then Dodo Juice shampoo.

I use Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner to wash, usually once a month in summer and once every 2-3 months in winter. Can't really be bothered when its cold and wet, and the car will get dirty again in a few days.

Every couple of months, I then polish with Autoglym Super Resin Polish and wax with Collinite 915, seal the wheels, dress the tyres/plastics, etc.

Oh no, every week!! that sounds a little sad. Power wash, wash with Zymol and then polish with Black fire wet ice over fire. Rims with Meguires Alloy Polish. Normally get it done in an hour.

Do you think I should see somebody!

That sounds like very good value for money to me

I'd give it a go almost every day...

Haven't actually washed my car except for warranty work washes. Washed on 3 trips to the dealer in the last 3 months and that's it.
Do I deserve any punishment for this sacrilege?

I would not say so. Just make sure you find a good excuse for another trip to the dealer within the next 30 days
