Any Tricks to Washing these Cars?

[Ron61]

So let's think about this, who's more extreme - the guy who properly washes his cars once a month (I've got 4 to take care of btw), or the guy who cleans his car 1-3x per week. Hmmmmm.

Your points are good, but I cleaned mine about three or four times a month unless I got it extremely dirty. I use clay bar and am in the process of cleaning my 1969 NASCAR Cobra now. It isn't driven much, but is original and even with the clay bar the dark red paint will show some places if you look close. This car has never been in a show and most likely won't as long as I own it. It is all original except some engine work, even still has the original old Goodyear Polyglass tires and they are 40 years old. The original question was how do people was their cars, not how do I make mine perfect so no one can possibly find a swirl or defect in the paint. The factory paint on my 69 has many defects, no runs but it shows the weld seams where they welded the fastback on to make it more aerodynamic. It has been inspected numerous times and many things were pointed out to me that I should have done to make it perfect. It also has some rock picks from being driven. I clean it about once every 6 months.
