I drive my car as much as I can, weather permitting. I keep it clean and polished except for a little brake dust on the wheels. If I am going to a car show, all it takes is a quick wipe down and I am ready to go. I take pride in my cars and in my self. As far as detailing and polishing, that's what I do on rainy evenings in the garage. Just like going on a job interview, you would not show up in torn dirty jeans and not shaven for 2 days. So why would I show my car looking the same way? If you built it, it's called taking pride in your work.
