How often do you wash your pride & joy?

[Bunyip04]

As stated... ^

I wash mine at least 2-3 times a week.... That's not obsessive... is it..??

[Coyote mk3]

Used to be every Saturday.

Water tanks are now empty; so only allowed to wash it whenever I have a club run on.
I want some decent rain up here

[thedutchman92]

once every 2-3 weeks (or when needed), gets dirty pretty quickly being EGO

[Fev]

When I ask my yard hand to do it hahah

My own cars though i'd wash once a week depending on the weather.. At my new place though i'd be washing it every 3 days. Living near a river means the cars are soaking with dew in the morning, then driving up the dirt road that is my driveway means its brown 10 mins later!

[Ford_The_Win]

Usually every 3 or 4 weeks, vacuum it out and detail the interior at the same time. One thing I can't stand is a dirty interior, and with the sheepskin seat covers, fluff gets everywhere.

That's gotta SUCK big time haha.

[ashthegash]

Every weekend, with the weather co-operating though. Would wash it more but there is not enough time with work I do. OP that no obsessive, just means you take pride in your car!

Haha yeah i try. The missus (, ) even washes, polishes and wax's it for me while i'm away at times!!

[Angeldust]

me too, every 3-4 weeks, its a fine balance between not washing enough and overwashing (which isnt really good either ).

ps white paint ftw. (black never again)

Weekly whether its used or not, including proper cleaning of windows, wheels, interior..Waxed monthly , polished every 6 months

[HULK EF]

-every 2 weeks.. Breeze isnt too bad in showing dirt.. seems to just lose the sparkle..
-vaccume once a month..
-detail the rims 3-4 times a week to keep brake dust at bay..

[vhcbm]

Wash once a week, interior every 2 weeks.

[Franco Cozzo]

Never, because when it rains it drops all sorts of crap on your car, nice shiny washed and waxed car, overnight its covered in dirt, then you drive it down our crappy roads, its even more covered in dirt.

Then you go down a dirt road, game over.

Its easier if you don't wash it, I jsut leave the bastard dirty.

I've washed it once.

[DJR-351]

When i can't recognise it.....

[Zero_PSI]

I wash mine when ever it gets dirty. I also wipe it down with a bucket and shammy between washes to keep it looking clean.

[XRGhia]

When I cbf'ed...



which can be around once every month or two, depending on weather etc... it's been a month and a half since i last cleaned it (i think), so that gives you an idea of how much i worry about cleanliness of the paintwork...


and the interior is only cleaned whenever i pull out the interior, even then i don't
"clean" clean it, as in with a vacuum... i just bash the carpet against the wall, and through it back in the car...

[lorpy]

iv washed mine only once since iv owned it i had it for 4months

[wrongwaynorris]

Never less than once a week and more if circumstances demand and time allows .

[GT69]

once a month or there about's. Gets dirty pretty quick though. Should really chammy the thing off, but there's only so much energy I'm willing to spend on it.

[Cam]

Black car here.. Gave it it's first wash in 4 months on the weekend, and first good interior clean and polish in... well... nearly 2 years..

Having a 2 year old, and parking my car at a train station where it gets covered in dust there really isn't much point.. Either way the inside / out is dirty after a few days...

In saying that, the car looked MINT for a day before it got dirty again.. Life as a single dad and working full time, and over 3 hours travel a day means I have more important things to do then clean my car... Priorities huh?

[MITCHAY]

Once every blue moon which was today and it was a lot of work. Started at 1pm and only just finished. I still have to clean the interior tomorrow.

I have never get the people who wash their car so often they might as well be washing the paint off :

I've only owned cars hardly worth keeping clean... And the car i own now, is what i've always wanted and never thought i'd ever be able to afford... Very worth keeping clean!

Kudos to you! Would make you feel pretty good to drive your car when it is clean tho!

[Supercharged]

When it gets dirty, pointless any other time

[Suvo]

When car becomes a complete new colour (or when i get annoyed about how dirty it is) whichever comes first. A week of daily driving and it looks like a months worth.. so it is good to clean it so I can get to enjoy it, but its not my daily anymore so it gets dirty before I enjoy it haha.

[mik]

i wash mine once a year wether it needs it or not

I started off thinking it was worthwhile but after 5 years of driving through road works and parking in a dust bowl I really don't care too much anymore.

When I get enough money I will buy a daily and keep a weekend warrior under cover. And then I will pay someone else to clean it :

[brett4777]

once a week weather permitting includes a vacuum and wheels etc

[XF Falcon]

The xr6t stays under a car cover in the enclosed garage so it stays clean enough to drive somewhere and return back under the cover (so it wont get washed as often as it used to). The daily will get a wash every weekend though.

[DJM83]

Once a week, sometimes once every 2 weeks if it rains.
