is it ok to wash and shampoo the car every week? wala bang bad effects sa paint?

[tr1ck5h07]

washing and shampooing every week is actually a good practice.
just make sure you're using car shampoo and not some other detergent.

depending on what type of shampoo you use, this will eventually strip off the wax (if you wax your car). so it's recommended to wax your car every month (you can do it more often if you want).

yes, you can. i do it. serves as my saturday morning exercise.

as long as you're using non-abrasive wax, doing it every week should be ok, albeit a bit unnecessary (unless you're really into detailing).

good hard waxes like carnauba, won't strip off easily and thus you only need to reapply them once a month.

It really depends on the weather, here in Metro Manila, weather is harsh, a carnuba wax will last you 2-3 weeks tops, me... I wax once every week, takes me around an hour to apply and buff off so it isn't really time consuming.
