ABMLS3 · 07-03-2013, 10:57 AM

2-3 times a week

Jason P · 07-03-2013, 10:57 AM

Not a daily driver, but wash it after every outing.

DD. i wash mine at least once a week if time and weather permits.

laditee · 07-03-2013, 11:00 AM

I wipe it down everyday...never drive it dirt unless its raining/snowing

Ringo64 · 07-03-2013, 11:01 AM

Usually every other week, alter between my DD and the Camaro

Depends on the bugs and where I have driven. To and from work only I can go two weeks.

Smkn600CTD · 07-03-2013, 11:15 AM

weekly, sometimes 2x in a week if its really filthy

Iv only had it for 4 months and tried to wash it at least once a week but here in Indiana its rained almost every day so after the second time i washed it and had it rain on me less than 24 hrs later i gave up and will wait for this rainy crap to pass.

Being my DD, I thoroughly wash it every 2 weeks. During the week, I just touch it up with detail spray. But lately, its been raining non-stop for like a whole week and my car is starting to look bad. I think the weather will let up finally this weekend so I can really give it a good wash.

Mine is a DD. If it is winter I hose off the salt after every use. Summer I can usually wash once every 1-2 weeks. The wax you use really helps. I use Zaino products and the car shines and dirt doesn't stick.

DD...Rinseless wash...every 5 days...so simple ......no hose .....15 min.....

tonymac · 07-03-2013, 11:52 AM

DD, once a week or whenever it needs it - whichever comes first.

I try to wash it once a week, I don't have the means to really do it in the dorms so I have to go to a buddy's house to do so.
