Bottom line - I wash her when she's dirty....
My mom says the same thing. Usually twice a week does it.

I try for once a week, but realistically it's more like twice a month. I do hose it off almost daily since the pollen has been pretty bad around here the last few months, and sometimes the birds at work use it for target practice.

I wash my families cars once a week to every other week and they get detailed once a month with clay bars once a year.

I would have to say every other day. It drives my wife nuts. I don't know why, I like a clean car.

May seem incredible, but I handwash,blue coral spray wax,towel dry,clean wheels,tire wet tires THE WHITE CAMARO "every day" at the Precision car wash next to where I live. If you have seen my latest photos you can see my camaro is always spotless. Coming up on two years in the fall and I have never put hard wax on my car. I drive it every day and have no problems with paint,nicks,dings,etc.

Depends. Sometimes only once a week. Other times 4 times a week. I hate dirt, dust and water marks. Whenever I see any of them, I either wash by hand at home or get a quick rinse at the car wash.

You trust car washes to wash your car?

I wash mine once a week because black gets dirty quick!

Same. Only the brand new place by my home just charges $5. I drove through there today.

Wow...you really don't care do you? I would never ever put my car through an auto wash.

Usually after every couple rides I take it for. Which is usually 3-4 times a week. It doesn't see bad weather and is garaged, so it's only road dust.
