car never gets washed, waxed, polished, buffed, or even sprayed off. But I keep the wheels looking nice!

[05PhillyStang]

Wash: once a week

Clean / Polish / Wax: Every 3 months (perform the squeak test periodically to make sure it doesn't need it sooner)

Spray Wax: every 3rd wash

Clay: twice a year

Interior: every 2 weeks

Wheels & Tires: at each wash (once a week)

EDIT: Quik Detailer 3 times a week

I must ask, many of you wax more often than you clean and polish. I assume your steps would be wash then wax. If you don't use a paint cleaner before every wax, aren't you essentially sealing in the dirt and impurities that a wash alone wouldn't remove?

[Rob66]

Wash at least once a week (usually twice - much to neighbours amusement).

NXT Speed Wax every time i wash and Polish and NXT every month.

Clay when it needs it (black car no clear coat so have to be careful).

Wheels twice a week.

Tyres at least twice a week.

California Duster every eve unless its rained then leave until i wash.

Just washing and drying never seems enough with a black car, needs the speed wax to look really good.

I forgot to add...

Engine Bay: Once every 3 months

[rusty bumper]

Wash weekly in warm weather......(Less often in winter).

Clay.......I clay before a full detail, but I will clay the top surfaces more often when needed.

Wax......I never use wax by itself without some form of prep, and that includes a cleaner wax. I give the vehicles a full detail in spring & fall. I like to buff the hood several times a year, and I use Final Detail as much as possible.

Clean interior......The cars are free of loose trash, but I need to spend more time inside, as I enjoy doing the outside much better.

Tires always get cleaned at every wash......I use Hot Shine about 3 to 4 times a year.

Note: I never do any of this on Sunday (Except a little FD in case of an accidental bird bomb or something). As Mike says, we need to kick back, relax and enjoy the day of rest.
