How far do you go to baby your Lex?
So I just picked up my new car, and I'm a little paranoid about the lengths I'll go to to baby my ride. My previous car was a 2002 Acura RSX Type S which I loved dearly and babied constantly. But now it's time to step up and I am nuts over the IS.
Now i'll be worrying about keeping that "showroom shine" at all times. What do you guys do when it comes to this? Do you guys hand wash it yourselves? Pay someone to wash and wax? Which wax is supreme? I'd just like to hear some of your tales of the TLC you give your cars.

ROFL... how far do i go... i do not leave my garage without a detail first, then when i come home even from just going 1/2mi to buy cigs i clean her again... when we have our wkly starbucks meets i stop at REV-01's shop to make sure my car is clean and if shes not i clean her again... one funny story: i entered a show and someone said 'his car looks the same as it does every other day', best compliment i've ever had
yes my car is white, yes its hard to see swirls, but that doesnt mean i can be lax... you'll need a professional PPG lite ($400bucks) to see that i have barley any microswirls
btw: i do everything by hand, myself.

Eric,
Thanks, Playa. Yeah I saw pics of your RSX (mad props)...phat ride man...made me shed a tear for my old car.
Yesterday I went to the mall with my significant other in the new IS....parked in the very last spot to my girl's dismay...she said, and I quote, "We could have just parked at home and walked if you're going to park this freakin far." To that I replied, "Hey! Be thankful you have legs cuzz not everyone in this world can walk."
She's going to hate me because of this car...hahaha...oh well.
