My views, for what they are worth are simple and frank: polishing cars is a waste of time! You bust your a55 for over 4 hours, it looks awesome, 2 days later it buckets with rain etc. and your back to square one. Granted, the reuslts are great and it protects your paint blah blah, but the time investments are huge, not to mention the effort. As for me and my Impreza, we just love driving. Regular hand washes of course and the odd polish are administered in non-freakish and non-fanatical measures.
