OTOH, I drive my 1985 Chev Cavalier with the faded paint job (sometimes with moss growing on it), the dent in the driver's door, and little sprigs of the remains of the rotted headliner dangling from the top of the rear window.
Practically invisible.

Amen! I drive a 97 Ford Explorer and I never wash it. In Texas it pales next to the bigger and more expensive SUV's. Then again, If someone wants it, they can have it. My car is insured and is replaceable.
