So how often are you guys washing your cars ? I washed mine today, then put a coat of polish on it. Buffed it in the heat till I nearly dropped. Then wouldn't you know, when I had to take it out, it poured rain. Did the same thing last night. Either going to have to get used to driving a dirty car, or stay obsessive and keep washing it . Seems like when I drove beaters life was much simpler.:smilie

Twice a week. Actually I rarely wash it. My 13 year old son on the other hand washes it twice a week. I think he believes if he keeps it clean I will let him take it out when he turns 16. :laugh:

Once every two weeks or more at home, if it gets to the point where it annoys me I will take it to the quarter place and just keep it clean enough to my liking lol:winks

I wash mine at least once a week and polish and wax it after the water stops beading up. Randeez, you should know by now that every time you wash a car, the chance of rain increases exponentially. In fact, there are some guys that wash their cars too often and
contribute to local flooding, mudslides, and the such. I have seen your car online, and it's a nice Mustang. If I were you, I would get used to washing it like most of the rest of us. BTW I'm taking mine to the dealer in the morning for the wrinkled seats for the second time. If I have to take it in three times for the same problem in Florida, anyway, it's considered a lemon and I get a free Mustang! 8

I wash my car every 2 weeks. Don't think i can do that during the winter as i don't have a garage. Might have to drive 30mins to my bro's house during the winter months.

I too have the wrinkled seats with 401a pkg. Almost every 401a pkg car pics i have seen have wrinkled seats.

We all need to complain to them . seats should be better than this.The company should not get away with quality like this . if no one says anything they will think all is well. Anyway, sorry for going off on a tangent.

Twice a week, tuesday and friday usually. I go to a big car show every wednesday, and I need it to be clean for the weekend. My car is black and i drive it every day and park it outside. Every time I wash my car I get better at it and I'm finding better and better stuff to do it with. I just ordered a foam gun:bigthumbsup

I've had mine for 2.5 weeks, 900+ miles, and only washed once. Right after the wash I did the clay, sealant, and one coat of wax. So far, she's never seen rain and every time, after a drive, I've wiped her down with a quick detailer and cleaned the windows. Bugs have been my biggest problem.

Very soon, I won't be able to do that as the weather turns to fall/winter. Then it will be, at the minimum, washed once a week to try and reduce the salt. I may have to purchase a hooptie for the winter...haven't made up my mind on that one yet.

At least once a week. Sometimes twice. All depends on the weather. If it rains during the week, I'll wash it as soon as it is dry out.

My car always looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

I wash once a week.. Really has to do with how many birds crap on it or bugs meet their doom on it to what justifies me sweating my rear off to clean it up..
