My car's a shitbox. I don't care if it gets dirty or not.

I park my car in the street underneath a tree. I wash it every now and then, clean my windshield every week.

Sealant. Sealant you should use every 6 months.
You should wax about once a month.

What is this sealant?

i hate cars

I used to cover my car when I didn't need to drive it every day.
Then frequent washes, similar to what you already do.
Now I have a garage to keep two of them in, because nothing you can do will give you the peace of mind (and nice place to work) a garage will. My Civic still sits outside, but that doesn't bother me as much. I imagine I'll have a tough decision when I replace it with something nicer and don't have enough garage space to go around. Maybe building a second garage?

I never wash my bugeye, when people ask why it's so dirty I tell them it's a rally car
My car is black, so I wash it once a week, polish every 1-2 months and a claybar once every 6 months. Once a year I take the wheels off and give them a good scrub inside and out.

My paint is already faded and fucked (luckily no clearcoat to peel, so it just looks like an old chalkboard where the sun hits it) so all I do is wash it every couple of weeks and put a sunshade in the windshield.
What do you guys use to remove swirl marks?
I sweep out the bed if it gets too many leaves in it. That's pretty much it.

Random orbital + polish
I park it under a tree so I can one day write it off
>>14726669
what is your polish of choice?
>>14726683
I enjoy polish sausage the most.

I use all Griot's products and am really happy with how they work. I have their 6" random orbital, a bunch of pads, and machine polish 1-4.
Whats the guideline for waxing? I remember my dad waxing his truck every week when he got it new back in 00'. If you could only see how the hood looked like after 16 years.
