    During the summer, I wash my car once a week. Winter in Vegas isn't so bad so I wash my car every two weeks. The week between washes I just hit it with meguiars quick detailer. Once every two weeks, wax is done during the summer. Once a month during the winter.
    And when I leave, come together like butt cheeks...

    Same as Queen Victoria...


    Once a month, whether she needs it or not.




    I actually try and rub some of the dirt off Friday before KINOD but it needs a really good going over...

    Not nearly as often as I should. Normally once every couple of weeks for both cars. I HATE waxing. Even on these tiny cars. I also seem to suck at it. Only time the interior gets detailed is before a show, so maybe twice a year.

    I rarely wash mine. Last time I washed it was because it was so dirty that a friend made me do it lol. He actually gave me the hose and filled a bucket for me. When it's dirty it hides the rust better.

    I wash mine every week. Full clay bar, polish hand wax every 6 months, usually at the very end of summer for winter protection and usually some time around Easter as I get 2 weeks off work. I try to keep on top of other bits like leather cleaning, wheels etc as and when. Hate vcumming though, my partner usually does it a a repayment for doing her car every week too. Quite enjoy it actually gets me out of the house and experimenting with different products and techniques.

    The Miata.... maybe once a month when i'm driving it.


    Everything else? Never.

    I think i've washed the MX6 once in the 2.5 years i've had it.
    NEVER washed the Jeep.
    NEVER washed the Escort.
    Washed the Celica twice in the 4 years i've had it.

    In the summer about once a week and I take my time with it. In the fall-spring I give it a quick wash about once a month or whenever it's not raining.
