How much is to much? (when washing ur car)

Ohk so i just got done washing the gp and my neighbor is out on the porch and says to me " I think you wash that car a little to much, if you keep washing it so much the paint is going to fade and the clear coat will start to wear out". So my question is can this really happen? I never heard of this but figured id ask. Also, how many times do you guys wash your car in a week? I was it one a good week twice if i got time.
 


i dont know i dont think you can really wash them too much. i just wash it whenever it gets dirty which is usually like once or twice a week. but with all the rain lately over here i havent even been able to wash it. im the same way though with my car, i try to do it as much as possible
 
How many washes does it take to wash the wax off? If you're not removing your wax with a single wash (which I'm certain you're not), then there's no way you're removing clearcoat by washing.

I get the same comment when I'm washing my car, too. I always assume it's just a facetious remark.
 
yea it prolly is lol i just figured id ask and see what i got. I havent waxed my car yet cuz in this city its been raining it seems like this whole month.
 
wash all you want, washing will not take off the clear, wiping down the hotrod with a shammy will polish the clear after a very very long time, I mean a long time...:)
so wash away
 


Nah. Ull never wash the clear coat off. I try to stay away from the car wash cuz I don't like pressure sprayin my car. But the soap aint bad for it. Ur good bro. I wash mine a couple times a week
 
I was or clean my car 3/4 times a week if not more. It can after a while start taking the wax coating off but i wax my car every other month or so or maybe just certain areas like the top of the car since they seem to be the worst hit by sun. But I've had my car almost 5 years now and the shine is just as good as a new car or better so i doubt you have anything to worry about
 
not so much anymore, but i use to wash my old car every 3 days, each month, it could be dead winter, i would open up the valve for the hose and wash it and see the icy soap come off, and each wash i would do a quick waxing, and once a month the 3 stage waxing and detailing, each wash i used a power washer, and when i was done your eyes woudl burn off from the reflection :)

i was at a local car show (target parkinglot lol) and guys from Zaino were there and gave me and my buddy andrew a basket with 100$ worth of stuff....i didnt even hav a car at the time lol but im happy i took it :th_nanana:
 
I wash mine every other day. My van that is. I own a detailing business, so a clean vehicle is an image of my business.
 
zanio is the best **** my dad buys it. all are cars are amazing and if u clay bar it even better. i wash my car alot no way u can wash the clear coat off
 


Zaino, yuck...... sorry, someone has to say it.
It's a over rated product. Everyone has to try it because someone says so...

Not bashing you at all, just never liked it. Yes, I tried it many many times. I can get far superior results from different products
