Yes, it's never been driven in the rain, no open cans or bottles for drinks except water, no eating food inside, no smoking, I'll break some bodies fingers if they leave finger prints on the gloss black frame around the doors, tire pressure is always checked, when I wash the car I also do in the inside of the wheels. That's about it lol.

I've found that the more OCD I get the more damages I get too.

That front bumper paint is pretty soft. The next one I get will have a clear bra installed.

The more I worry about it and something happens to it, so I only take it out on weekends.

Both of the loaners I drove over the past weekend had paint protection film on them. I think it's a good idea for my next one.

No, I take care of my GS the same as I did my 2008 Trailblazer. Garage kept, no smokers in the family. Keep paper towels handy in the event of a spill and have all weather floor/cargo mats.

I think it's the same with all 14 cars I have owned, from a 1990 Buick century to the 2013 GS F sport... I like a clean car..., will wipe them down, wipe off the rims and tire shine... I just like the car I am in to look clean. It's a material thing at the end of the day... That won't cry over you.. So no sense in crying over it...

Obsidian (black) colored cars get dirty very easy, so....(let me take it back) I have a speck more of OCD than I thought.

No farting, no sweet drinks, no smoking, always wrap a towel on seat after finished playing basketball.....aaaand anytime my little fat kids get into the car after playing in the sandbox at the park I.....just kidding, they can do whatever they want

And yes...*raises hand*
microfiber towel here too, also small brush for the area around screen that gets easily scuffed.

OCD in full effect

I keep two of them neatly folded in the trunk cargo net. One for windows, the other for everything else.

The door pocket is for gum, pens and wet naps.

OCD in full effect....like Wrecks N Effect.

One medium size microfiber towel in the door.
One small microfiber towel in the center console.
One tiny microfiber towel in the coin tray.
