    I wash mine usually every two weeks or so and do a complete detail every spring.

    Every couple of weeks during the rainy months. Once or twice a week when it's nice out. It gets waxed probably 4 times a year.

    I washed Sharka about a week ago. We had a warm afternoon, so I decided to wash off the suction cup marks from this photo shoot.



    So, about once every 3 months.

    When I was in high school, I'd wash my car every weekend either hot or cold. When I went to college, I'd wash it whenever i was home; which was about once a month or few months.

    I try to wash it once every week or two. It hasn't had a full detail since I bought it 4 years ago, so it could definitely use one. I almost hate when it's clean, because the dings and giant door dent in my fender stick out even more.

    Every week. Now, in the Norwegian winter, every time i've been driving on salted roads. I'm rather washing the car 3-4 times a week than seeing the car beginning to rust.

    Once every couple weeks is average for me. Solid detail job about twice a year. I probably will be giving her the once over tomorrow.

    since water creates rust, and the car is getting older, i avoid washing it. which means i dont take it out in the rain or in situations that will create the need for a wash. just dust it off with a nice dust brush.

    I usually wash it whenever it gets dirty. So probably about every week or so, or when i have the time. But i don't really clean out the inside all that often, I usually forget about that part. haha

    I only wash if it's looking dirty. It's garage kept and doesn't see the rain much so I don't wash too often.

    I used to wash my car every few weeks.

    That being said, the last time I washed my car was early august.
