How often do you wash your vehicle?

[zerosoma]

I try to wash my vehicle more in the winter than the summer to fight off the salts that cause rust.

I'll usually do it once a month in the winter, once every 2 months in the warmer months.


How bout you?

I've washed it three times since I bought it 6 months ago. I'll definitely wash it more in the winter.

I think I'm around 3-4 times per year. We've finally been getting some rain lately, so not likely until spring now.

Every two or three weeks, depending on time. I try to clean the interior of the minivan more often--otherwise, it turns into a massive job. I'm a fan of DIY hand wash and wax. Learned early on that the local car washes scratched and swirled the paint more than it cleaned. My 6 year old refers to the car wash as the "scratch and swirl".

living on dirt roads I try to power wash it at the quater wash weekly (unless i managed to somehow keep it clean that week) unless its wet out, then my dirt roads are mud roads and any type of cleaning is a waste.

Thats just spraying everything off the jeep from underneith and on top. I do a good job cleaning everything and waxing once a year.

Twice a year. Spring and fall.

 

[supton]

Once a year.

I do vacuum the interior a few times over the summer though--that's the bit I see the most.

Once a week in the summer/spring. Every 2 weeks in the winter depending on the weather conditions.

 

[GearheadTool]

Might get it washed today. I don't want dirt accumulating, promoting rust...

 

[Geezer1955]

At least once a week. It is an extension of myself.

My girlfriend thinks I am obsessed.

My work has a wash bay for the fleet vehicles. I usually try to rinse it off once a week during the winter.

Same for me as well. Although sometimes every 3 weeks in the winter.

Whenever it gets dirty, almost literally.
If it stays clean in the summer, maybe once a week maybe twice. If it rains and gets all water spotted I wash again.
In the winter, if it gets salty every day, I wash it every day.
I can't stand things dirty.. My bikes are clean, my car is clean, my condo is clean. Looking at a filthy car drives me insane.

Our fleet trucks get washed every single day they work! My son also details them regularly, you can't sell the upscale clients I meet everyday in a nasty looking truck!

My personal cars and trucks get washed as needed. Since they are all garaged they can stay clean a long time.

 

[Vikas]

Every two or three years whether it needs it or not!

 

[Ibrahim]

Have enough ESSO/Gulf points to last a life time, once a month luxury wash, sometimes maybe twice... Full detail once a year!

 

[Smokescreen]

In the winter I wash it when it gets above freezing, the other three seasons I wash it about once a month.

 

[JHZR2]

In the winter I at least do salt-away rinses with fresh water and salt away in a sprayer.

We have a lot of cars, so washing all of them isnt practical on a regular basis. I keep them all pretty clean and they all look great. If the weather is decent, Id say once a month for most.

Both cars get washed once every 2 weeks. The other week I am at work and then it doesnt pay to wash my truck because it will be just a dirty the next day, my wife would just run hers through an automatic and Id rather her save the $8 and wait for me to get home to do them both.

They both get vacuumed and dusted at the time of washing. Inside of windows are done every few months.
