You can wash the car as much as you like as long as you do it correctly.

I detail cars and I use a two bucket method with grit guards in both (one soapy water & one rinse water).

Also use a good quality soap like megs nxt or something similar. Do NOT use dawn dish soap. It will strip all the wax off.....unless that's what you're trying to accomplish.
I've washed mine 3 times a week before....my neighbors think I'm a nut-case too. It's ok.....I have OCD just like the rest.

Heck you may be crazy but it not because you wash your Z too often. Washing the Z is like touching your gf or wife... can it ever be too much?

This feels like a therapy session for me. I relate to everything being said. Even bookmarking the weather channel on my remote.
