No, it does not at all. Bonding with your girl is so very rewarding. As for the original post, I always wash by hand and wash the fender wells as well as the door sills and trim. I feel as though if you keep it clean and shiny then it is less to maintain the car in the long run. I often need to wash my car when I cruise at night because the bugs that stick to the grill and headlights and hood, windows, etc.... but I never use any Eagle `1 products. I think that they are too oily and are poor quality. For me it is Meguires, Zaino, Mother's, or TurtleWax Synthetic detailers. As for polish I love Liquid Glass. It is expensive ($22.00/can) but well worth it. Thanks for the input everyone.
