Personally, I find washing your car methodically, and comprehensively, quite a therapeutic experience. It actually relaxes you after a busy week of work.

Of course, some of you have never had to work probably!

My detailing sessions last for like 3 hours. And I'm pretty worked by the end of it. but it results in at least a week of shiny shiny fun.

I wholeheartedly agree with you! It is very therapeutic for me too. When detailing/polishing/cleaning a car I actually find time to think about a lot of stuff and cleanse the mind. Though I'm physically tired by the end of the day, I feel much better. Only swimming gives me the same effect though with more adrenaline after the swimming session. Plus driving a car that you know is clean in and out just feels as good. You would think the car drives better though its probably the driver, driving better now that he/she is mentally de-stressed.

Just checked with the weather forecast and it will be raining tmr. However, it's only very light rain and we only get 1mm of precipitation... so, i say we go for it.
