Default R U guys **** about Washing your car?

Anyone else **** when it comes to washing your car? I know I am and I can never clean my car all at once.

I try to clean my car around 4 ish when its not too hot and right before it gets dark.

Im very ****. I wash it at least once a week, vaccum the interior about every 2-3 weeks, clean all the windows in and out about once a month. We have a drain in our garage so i can wash my car inside when its dark, really hot or freezing cold.

Hmm.. i dont think i'm too specific when it comes to washin my car. I usually do it on a sunday b4 i head back to school, so rite after i wash it, the drive will make it dirty again.. lol. But i try to keep her clean. Once in a while, i'll vacuum the inside since i track stuff in it, sigh.

when i first got my car, i didn't have the chance to wash it for about a week and it got really dusty. i went to my car right after work and found out someone wrote all over my car with their fingers. they did it again i guess the next day after i did a quick rinse. since then, i still see fingerprints from it. any good way to take em off??
