Of course it's worth it!!

Heck even if it rains an hour later, it's quality time you spend just "workin' on the car". What I probably enjoy the most is just listening to the radio while washing...chillin' then going out later in the night in what feels like a brand new car!

Oh...I can't wait for summer to roll on in! http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif

yes it is

... so the mud will slide off better instead of just sticking to the mud already on the car.

NOW go rally please (just a joke, relax)

I definitely take an hour, or so, on the first good wash after winter. Identify and touch-up any new rock pits, and give it a good wax.

Consider it annual rust maintenance.

I will tell you all a lil tip dont leave bird crap on your car I did and now my hood is all messed up looks like it ate through the paint and this was only for a few days. Also the paint wasnt factory I had to replace my whole front clip a few months ago so possibly cheaper paint didnt help either.

Looks nice, but hours??? I do my whole car in about 30-40 min. Unless your waxing it too.

They are Work meister s2r wheels 17x7 53+.
I washed it forever and cleaned the whole interior. The wheels are also a pain to clean. That is why it takes so long.

I do that just about every weekend. Just got an random orbital buffer to cut the time to around an hour and a half. It's how I relax though... Take my mind off the hook for a couple of hours and just clean the car. If it's been a particularly bad week, I'll wash and wax my wifes Forester too. That's a REALLY bad week though! http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

I aree that washing my baby is a bonding experience. Plus, you get to do a detailed inspection for dings, chips and other little disturbances that otherwise might escape notice. That way, you can touch-up, strip and wax or whatever to protect it. It takes me at least and hour to do a full clean inside and out including windows, wheels and polishing the tips on my Stromung. It took me 2.5 hours just to wax it the first time. Sucked, that's why I bought the Bosch 6" RO sander/polisher. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif

I don't think it's worth it at all. No matter how much time or money I spend on a wash, one drive to work and it looks just like it did before I washed it.

Arent WORK wheels REALLY expensive??? I thought that they were like as much as ADVANS! Any ways, you need to lower your car! STAT! PS: My car is my prised possesion and I still only take a half hour at the most to wah and vaccum my car.

I love your wheels even if they are expensive... I saw them on a WRX in a magazine from France and I said to myself that they were made for an Impreza...

Good choice and you have a nice RS!

I've spent hours just washing my car. Then comes the waxing. It's definitely worth it in my opinion.

I do that every time when I wash my car. but the question is... how often do you wash your car? I try my best to do it one every other week...
