I go over my car with a bottle of distilled water everyday and lint free cloth. the paint is almost factory flawless and this car is my daily driver. I go over the top with a dyson vacuum on the weekends. the gallon of 99 cent distilled water lasts about 2 months... so if you're looking to save money, hand wash it yourself. my 2 cents...

Some camaros are show cars and others are not, mine is the latter. The weather in the Pacific northwest sees all four seasons and as I said, it's a DD. Nothing like spending half a day detailing my car only for it to be caked with axle grease, tar, tree bark, rocks and bugs from a drive to and from work. For those who can keep their camaro in pristine showroom condition, I applaud you. I on the other hand, cannot.

Car washes are a thing in the past for me. After seeing what car washes did to my other cars, I vowed never to step foot in one again. I also got my wife to practice this as well.

I have a cordless leaf blower I use to get leaves and other trash off of my top after a storm.

As others have said, it's a personal choice and should be based on your situation and how you view your car. I hand wash my Camaro, but my DD Expedition goes through a touch-less wash every few weeks. On the other hand, my wife washes her car only when you can't tell what color it is anymore...
