Im sad to say its been over a week since I did mine. I feel like a bad owner for not getting to it sooner.

This weekend for sure. Needs a new couple coats of zaino.

And my drive has this damn tree over hanging it with this little tiny drops of something it drops on the car... and these little ball things that stick to the car. It sucks because during the peak of the summer, right after I wash it its already dirty agian.

I *really* need to wash my car. It's been a few weeks, at least. But that's nothing, compared to waxing. I probably haven't waxed it in like two years. I really should go get it done professionaly.

i take my car to a car wash, probably once every 3 weeks. I myself have not personally washed my car since about last yr, lol. Im too lazy, and dont have enough time. I rather just spend 4$ and get it washed, lol.

Washed it on Sunday and it's due for another as soon as the rain stops. Needs a wax bad though (it's been a little over 2 months since it's last coat) - I have to order some Zaino within the week so I can do the wash and wax the same day
