How much do you care about your car's skin?

Man, I was a maniac. I even have books about automotive detailing, I even taught the polish boys how to do a good job on other people's cars. I even took money once to detail a classic maser's exterior whose owner agreed to a S$600/hour job (but I took only a couple of hundred bucks even though it took me 3 hours to do everything coz I didn't want to feel too much like a high class whore). I did my car every week, and when I took trips to KL and reached home at 11pm full of insects all over the car, I ... embarassingly ... washed my car at 11.30pm MYSELF.

Now damnit, I couldn't care less. I really don't know what happened. I suspect that I'm getting older, and the cars' exterior don't mean so much to me anymore since after all new luxobarges and sports cars now have a layer of nanopaint on it to protect it so well. I put it into the manual car wash and even an auto car wash if I'm in a rush. And I'm having about 3-5 hours more a week to read car magazines or just sleep.

What about you guys?
