Do Most Owners of the New Camaro clean it daily? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Napper · 07-15-2010, 07:47 AM

I find myself compeled to clean my car daily.

I have given it a good wax with a paste wax, and i use a wax as you dry product every day , as the nights causes condesation, the car is clean
so i wipe it down with a daily dose of liquid wax

Rims, rear pipes and tires get the attention daily too.
Even if i drive it to the store and back i'm cleaning the rear of the car.

Am i too much? Do other do this! My lady is seriously jealous of the car!!!( but loves driving in either when they are sparkling clean!) typical

The Cts-v gets the garage so its seldom out lately. trying to balance the miles on both. The cts-v has 4k mile and the SS has 1300 miles.( i got them about a month apart, for the record)
Everyone knows black is a bitch ,thats the main reason the Caddy gets the garage .

Err anal... I wash mine once a week at the most. Life is too busy to keep up on it like that.

clg_98ta · 07-15-2010, 07:52 AM

I clean bugs off daily

I'd be careful with the wax... you want a good layer to protect the paint but you don't want to keep applying because it will build up and become cloudy.

jtzako · 07-15-2010, 07:54 AM

I dont, once a week and then only if it isnt raining constantly. I do keep an eye out for bug squash and bird poo and get rid of that asap though.

LS3 SS · 07-15-2010, 07:54 AM

Id say it gets washed twice a week. I hate having dirty floor mats or any bird crap on the vehicle, so if there is something inside/outside the vehicle that bothers me, I will clean it with no hesitation.

I use a California car duster before I put it into my garage. I do not have ground FX or splash guards and the quarter panels get a black powdery substance on them that looks like either tire of brembo dust. (my car is SIM and shows the powder really good) I wash it after driving it in the rain.

Does seem to be a bird poop magnet. So if that counts daily for me.

Rogue Leader · 07-15-2010, 07:58 AM

I do attack bug guts and bird crap as immediately as I can....

jagan323 · 07-15-2010, 07:59 AM

yeah, too busy to clean it everyday. I clean about once every 2 weeks.

RedJewelSS · 07-15-2010, 08:01 AM

2-3 times a week.

SQUALO · 07-15-2010, 08:03 AM

I wouldn't say daily, but on a weekly basis, as required. I clean it after long drives, it's amazing what that front end will pick up

Rockhead · 07-15-2010, 08:33 AM

I don't drive mine everyday but I still wash it just about every time I drive it. I live in a new subdivision so there is lots of dust created by construction. The fact that it's black also dictates a more frequent wash also. Yes life is busy but I find it therapeutic to wash it . I love washing cars it's instant gratification of a job well done. I seem to neglect my poor Escalade and wash it less frequent now that I have the Camaro

Legend · 07-15-2010, 08:36 AM

I'd say a decent cleaning once a week...wax and such, about every 4 months.

Life is just too busy for me to do stuff like this daily!

nards444 · 07-15-2010, 08:38 AM

everyday is probably to much. I mean the more you wipe or touch the car your bound to put scratches in it regardless how careful you are. Mine gets it once a week if its being used if it sits in garage and I dont drive it, then probably not
