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!

i hear a lot of people say that but i dont really enjoy washing/detailing my car. its just more work for me. also, every time i do that i find a nick or a scratch or something bad that i didnt know of before. id rather not know! out of sight is out of mind.

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 agree and 14cue will attest to that.

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.

werd. I couldn't agree more. However, right now, my car is filthy. my scheudle has gotten the best of me. looks like i will roll up dirty or semi-dirty (i may drive it through a touchless before hand).

Uh, this weather shows no signs of letting up. Do you guys want to postpone until clear skies return?

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.
