I Need a Good Comeback to: "You're going to wear the finish off the car."

Like probably many of you, I wash or wax or polish or clean something on my car at least three times per week, usually more. I live in a neighborhood where a lot of people like to take walks. Well, people who walk often will see me outside doing my thing to my car and, without sounding mean (trying to make a joke), will say, You're going to wear the finish off that car you keep washing and waxing it so much. I usually chuckle at their extremely cliché joke and continue about my business. But now I'm starting to get annoyed by these trite attempts at humor. So I'd like to have a comeback. I don't want to sound mean or make fun of the person, but I would like to say something clever back to those who don't understand those who take pride in the appearance of their automobiles.



Any suggestions?
 
I usually just smile and wave.....they probably don't know that you've heard the line a gazillion times.... (unless of course its the same person)



Sometimes, i call them up and make them walk around and look at my car from different angles and say something like: "now isn't that the shineist silver car you've ever seen ?"
 
If they say something like,



"You're going to wear the finish off that car you keep washing and waxing it so much."



You might try-



"Didn't I tell you, I'm a professional." Then give them a wink!;)



For the repeat offender's-



"You forget, I'm a professional.";)



or-



"Infinity G35's don't have that problem." ;)



or-



"What products did you use that faded out your car like that.":nixweiss



All in good fun right. ;)
 
oh, I already did, that's why i need to protect the metal



honestly though, just smile and wave, some people will never understand
 
While I love the "Go F--- yourself" comeback, I think I'll stick with the friendly smile, chuckle, and wave while thinking to myself, "Go f--- yourself!"

"Great, I hope so!!! My wife told me I wasn't getting another new car until the paint was gone on this one." :D
 
These are kick-butt responses!



Actually, I'm sort of looking forward to someone saying it to me now so I can try one of these comebacks and put them in their place!

That's another one of my pet peeve comments. Do people actually think they're the first to think of these cliché statements? Why can't they say something complimentary like, "Wow, nice looking car/finish," or "All that hard work sure is paying off."
