i like to keep my stuff nice. i pay decent money to have nice stuff, so why not. i have no problems doing so, and it relaxes me being able to do what i do best, at my own pace and have the luxury of looking back at it when its done and saying to myself "that looks fucking nice". i have detailed my car since it rolled off the lot 7 years ago, and is in better shape than 99% of the 5/6/7 series that come into my dealership after being taken home and come in for the first oil service.
and i dont see why you wouldnt put a daily in the garage. it still gets cold here, dew is always on it in the mornings, and just keeping it out the elements as long as you can will keep it nicer longer without any extra effort
you may call it a waste of time, i really don't care.
