On the average, about twice a month. And I wax it about every other time I wash.

During the summer, once every two weeks.

The rest of the year, once a week or more.

Ooh, ooh, make it a poll! Make it a poll! We need more polls!

Actually, I guess I'm a laggard, since it only gets washed once a month or so.

And, as for my car ...

I usually wash the car (by hand) whenever I see some crap on the car, like bird shit, stains, etc..

I only take the car to the wash, maybe, 1-2 times a month...

At the start of Spring/Summer, I was washing every week but for the past month, I've been really busy, so I haven't washed it in a few weeks. I'll wash it this Saturday and then next Thursday again since my bro's wedding is next Saturday and relatives are coming in. Gotta look nice and shiny for the relatives ya know

It's just like reruns on TV, it still got audience, plus I guess there are more new members around.....

I hand wash mine only when it's not too hot out, and the shade of my tree is big enough to cover the whole car. So far about (less than) twice a month on average. Waxed only twice since I got the car too (w/Zaino).

Once a week, I might give it a quick spray down a second time throughout the week.

I try to bring it to a car wash once every two weeks or after a long trip (I live in WI, a lot of bugs when driving on the highway) I don't have access to a hose so I cannot wash my car myself (I would love to) and I am thinking to get my car detailed before the winter hit us. I wish I have a garage so I can wash and wax it myself

I wash once a week, adding a coat of P21S every week.
I do use a cleaner wax (Klasse) once a month, which removes the wax.
Also, I clay (Mothers) every 6 months,and glaze (Klasse) every 3 months as well.

Hopefully that's not overload, but the car shines like no other.

dust it off w/ california duster and touch up with detailer spray every evening...but then again I park in dusty conditions and I have NBP.

Since I have a beater truck now, the tsx stays indoors on rainy/snowy days. I haven't washed/waxed in over 2 months.
