How often do you wash your vehicle(s)?

[Mixolydian]

Just curious.

I should wash my truck more often, but I always forget. So its not uncommon to go 2 months without a wash. I should wash it every few weeks or so as it gets quite dirty.

EDIT: FUCK, just realized this should probably be posted in The Garage...

Every time it rains.

Not as often as I should. I will go a month or three in the summer. Winter I try to wash whichever car has been on the roads about every other week to remove the salt.

 

[lxskllr]

Never. I've had my Jeep 13 years, and it's been washed exactly zero times. If I think of it, I hose the undercarriage after driving on salty roads, but I don't usually think of it.

My car - Once every 3 or 4 months. Its my commuter so dont really care to much
My truck - About the same but when i get back from camping or dusty areas. It doesnt get out as much so no need to wash it as much

 

[nickbits]

Twice a year. Right after and right before winter.

 

[Fritzo]

Once a week. Maybe more I like it shiny!

 

[Engineer]

One or two times per year for my 10 year old Intrepid. Wife's and daughter's cars about 5 to 6 times per year + a wax job.

 

[Jumpem]

Once or twice a month in the summer. Once a week, or so, in the winter.

I am trying to become less concerned with it as I get older and have other things to do.

And this is touch free car washes. I don't have the patience for hand washing anymore.

 

[Dirigible]

Less than once a year, on average.

Well, it's been raining a lot...so why wash it?

Every 2 weeks

 

[SlitheryDee]

Maybe once a year. It hasn't been washed yet this year. Every time that I wash it and it only takes 2 weeks to return to the same state it was in after a year of not washing it reaffirms my belief that washing cars is busywork that only suckers would waste their time on.

 

[mmntech]

About every two weeks as soon as the weather warms up. Winter not so much. I don't have access to free washes in a heated bay anymore.

 

[rh71]

I wash it when the brake dust gets noticeable which is once every week or two in the summer, but I have to endure longer in the winter - I just let it be.

Right. I was gonna wash it yesterday, but then we got a huge downpour. Yay nature!

 

[theevilsharpie]

You're supposed to wash those things?

 

[IronWing]

This.

 

[MontyAC]

Maybe twice a year.

 

[Markbnj]

I have an '07 FJ Cruiser that spends a lot of time in the woods. I wash it maybe twice a year, mostly just to get the interior clean again. Don't really care about the exterior, as it is all beat and pinstriped anyway.

 

[QueBert]

Once a week a hand wash, another time a week with the foam gun only, and once more with just a foam cannon.

This about sums it up, though it doesn't take 2 weeks; it only takes a day of driving. I do wash it if it gets really dirty (dirt roads after heavy rains, when they should really be called mud roads.) So, maybe 3 times a year, though I suspect my wife runs it through the car wash when I'm not aware.

 

[MagickMan]

Weekly, if they're driven.

 

[Dulanic]

A few times a year now. When I was younger I used to wash it weekly. But that was when I lived around a good car wash. The ones here are horrible and I am too busy to do it myself.

I guess getting older and having children puts car wash way down your list of priorities.
