I get being comfortable. Getting good gas mileage. Having a good engine to tow shit or for going super fast, even though I'm not into that stuff. Even having the inside clean, cuz you know that is where I am all the time. But the outside of my car? Don't give a shit. I had a friend who literally cleans his car two times a week, by hand, with a hose, wax the whole shabang. Takes him forever.
To each their own I guess.

Oh I don't know, maybe other people drive cars for enjoyment and aren't driving a ****ing Prius. Plus, taking care of something that you put money into just makes sense. I wouldn't let my house go to shit either, why would you with your car?
I'm not super OCD with every car. I am now daily driving a 2007 Civic. I will wash it maybe once per month, wax every 4 months. When I was daily driving my Mustang I was OCD. Hand wash (90 minutes) every 10 days, full wax every 2 months, cleaning rims twice per week, conditioning seats once per month.
I will say your friend is doing over-kill though. What kind of car is he doing that to?
