6 months. Winter and no touchless car washes within 100 miles.

Usually 1-2 weeks during Spring, Summer, and Fall.

~5 months while it was sitting for winter. Now that's it's driving time maybe three weeks between washes - which are never done anywhere but home using correct methods.

Washed it once when I brought home from the dealer. 2 years ago.
Sunny weather driven only. Sits under a car cover in a garage when not in use. Dust it off with a car duster. Detail spray when needed. Bug removal when needed. Clean the wheels when needed (every bloody time, grrrr brake dust). Twice yearly wax and once yearly clay bar.

Mine is one month old. It is not a daily driver. It has 1000 miles on it do far. It is not garage kept. It has never been out of the driveway unless it was full shined and ready to represent.

Never. My car never sees bad weather and I only have 1k miles so far.

Daily driver but I do park in a parking garage so I can sometimes go up to 2 weeks in the non-winter months. However, I hate the cold so in the winter I rarely wash it, so it can be 2 months, I feel sorry for my car.... At least Texas winter is usually like Dec until the end of Feb or so, it can still be quite warm in November.
