How often do you do yours?
Mine has not been done in months as i'm a lazy fuck. Someone told me that if you wash it all the time it will start to rot away, really cannot see how this is true

I usually wash mine every week  But recently due to the shit weather I didnt wash it for nearly a month. I've got a little rust patch starting on the bottom of my door now  So i'd say not washing it causing it to rot away!

if you clean the car alot in a week your doing the car worse then good onestly
because everytime you clean it your taking off a very tiny bit of paint when cleaning and more you clean it less paint and protection it has
