as for washing...i have a pretty easy determination practice when deciding whether or not to wash the car: is it going to rain in the next 5 days? no...then wash it. has it been more than 10 days since you last washed it? yes...then wash it...unless of course after 10 days it will rain within the next 5 days. then, don't wash it. around texas as long as it isn't summer it will rain every 2 weeks, so you can keep your car looking pretty clean when weather is permitting by only washing it somewhere in the neighborhood of every 1.8 weeks. during the summer we usually have a drought so the plan will be once every 10 days as previously mentioned, which again, is about once every 1.8 weeks on average. contrary to popular belief, washing is actually BAD for your paint because anytime you touch your paint you are probably marring or swirling the paint in some minor way. after you've done minor marring/swirling for a long enough period of time, you will start seeing more prevalent marring/swirling. so, the longer you can go in between washes, the better for your paint. that is why my regime is what it is...if your car can't go more than 4 days without staying clean, don't wash it |

I have a dustop cover. It's for indoors only but it's good protection so it doesn't get scratched up in the garage and will keep most of the dirt to a minimum.

I have a 2SS 45th on its way to Texas on a train somewhere, and have no plans to get a cover. I have one for my 2000 vette that I bought when that car was new, and only ever used it once.

When you cover your car for the winter, does the cover produce condensation and could that be an issue for the paint?
