    Re: how many times do you wash your car a year

    I wash at least 2-3 times a week here in Jakarta, Indonesia..

    The weather is so unpredictable, it suddenly rains, and then it gets very hot again, and leaves the car brown with dust and other dirt particles blown..

    Theres a difference in a person who has to do it and a person who wants to do it

      45+ but checked 50+ by mistake...... Every Saturday morning (May miss a few on account of rain) and UQD Sunday.

        I try to wash my Focus and Saturn at least once a week but that doesn't always happen so I voted for 40 for each car.
        Now with my ambulance's they get washed at least every other day if we're busy, if not then at least once a week so I put +50 each for the rigs.

            Well living along lake erie, I get rain weekly, and there is snow half the year, but I still try to wash it at least once a week. Unless it is too cold or the snow is up to my waist, as it usually is! haha

              Right now I have been washing the car about twice a month, sometimes with quick detailer usage between washes.

                Would doing an ONR sponge bath be considered a "wash"??

                  I voted 35 times...but that would be for one individual vehicle. I have several, so the total would be quite a bit more. Plus, when they are parked in the garage, there is less cleaning needed.....at least I hope!

                    Unfortunately I had to vote with reality rather than my heart. My Daily Driver gets frequent washing attention during the warm weather and not so frequent attention during the Fall/Winter. Having a family life to consider, as well as my own, sometimes conflicts with the need for 'showroom' like presentation especially when you throw in the less than desirable weather elements. So I've learned to deal with it by rationalizing that although my ol trusty Daily Driver doesn't get the attention it should, I'm not ignoring the need to wash, I'm just getting the vehicle ready for the semi-annual FULL MONTY DETAIL EXPERIENCE!!

                        That's about how frequently I wash my car, I would recommend to wash your car this much only if you are using non-marring techniques.

                          I wash twice a week . I cant stand a dirty car. If the weather is bad I may wash more often. My car sits outside 24/7. My wifes car gets washed once a week. My car gets spray wax/QD once a week after a wash , and a regular wax every two months. Nobody eats or drinks anything in my car including my grandchildren. My dog never rides in my car. If she has to go to the vet we use my wifes car. My car looks like it did when it was new.

                            2-3 times a week. Sometimes more in the summer, sometimes less in the winter. Looking forward to my new Shampoo Plus for the season!!
