One day, I spent 4-5 hours detailing and afterwards I felt exhausted and felt little crazy that i did this on a car (especially the fact its not a show car and i live in rainy seattle) and wondering if I should just wash my car every two weeks and maybe wax every 2-4 months and use the remaining time on what i usually do which is play tennis, read, or excercise. I like the process of cleaning etc and having a nice shiny car but the weather down here is so dark and gloomy, the shine really has no purpose (on rare occasions it is , it does look great). People always get on my case of spending too much time on the car and neighbors think i'm nuts washing it so many times (im sure you'll be saying who cares what they think).. and they always telling me cars depreciate over time and also the unexpected accidents (minor or big). the cost of modfiying and detailing kind of makes me wonder if it's all worth it or not.. Also being a daily driver.. my miles seem to keep getting high (37500 k miles in 2.5 years!! is that a lot?) and just the anxiety of something happening to the car (like some fool giving me door dents, or hit and run (which i've experienced both) kind of makes me just step back away from the garage.. On the other hand, I plan on owning my car for long time because I do like it and thinking of jumping into auto detailing to preserve the car despite people saying it gets depreciated as time goes on (especially mileage)... and really do not like the car payments.... man that alone should make me scrubbing, huffing and puffing.. so with my last statement stated.. i'll just continue this journey... just seems like backbreaking work... not your videogame, tennis hobby..
