How often do you wash your car?

unfortunatly i dont have a covered garage and my Pcar is a daily, so mine gets pretty dirty... i am out there at least once a week cleaning it up in some way... i find it is a good way to get away from the damn computer screens (Programmer)

...usually every 2-3 drives even if the car only requires slight cleaning. The wheels usually don't make it too long before they need attention from brake dust.

After every track day the car gets a full detail including details like pulling wheels etc.

But then again...I do own a detailing business.

Mine is black and driven only on weekends but it still shows the dust just sitting in the garage. I end up washing it every 2 weeks so the car looks good for a couple of days then dusty or dirty the rest.

Wash the Car

WASH:

I use the spray Detail before and after each drive. I never wash the weekend car. It never sees bad weather. That is what the everyday beater is for (2005 TL).

What size garden hose do you use to wash your car?

What music do you listen to when washing?
