How often do you wash your car? (windshield, best, seats)

[SoHoVe]

I wash before any service because I think techs pay more attention to detail when working on a vehicle that appears well kept. Cars don't appear terribly dirty here due to the lack of rain, there are few birds and I think some dust helps protect from the sun. I've probably washed my SUV fewer than 20 times in 10 years & when it IS clean it still looks like new.

I wash it when it's dirty. Sometimes the car stays clean for two weeks, sometimes over a month, I don't drive very much. I do make it a point to wax it twice a year, I have a power buffer so it does not take long and it's good to apply a good coat of slippery wax just before the road salt season gets here.

Our local drive through gives you unlimited washes for $15 a month, for one car.

I just sit in the bed and run the truck through and kill two birds with one stone.

I tend to wash mines about 3-4 times a month just because the ones I see daily are so dirty. Very rarely do I see a clean car where I’m at.

I've had my car for about a year now, and I've only had it washed (car washed) once, and that's only because the vehicle shipping company required that all cars be washed before they've accept them. Now, I have a coupon for a free wash, but I've never felt the need to use it. I more care that my car is clean on the inside.

Never. That's why there is rain. And I now live in the desert. I should probably stop parking under trees.

On the other hand, its a lot easier to find my particular black sedan in the parking lot.

Once a month, as I live on the seacoast, but in an arid, dusty area.

Once every 2-3 weeks or when grimy.

ADD ON

I also have it detailed (including waxing) once a year.

I can only imagine how coated in bug splatters the front bumpers are of the people who never wash. Rain doesn't get rid of that.
