0 redneck08sierra Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 since it hasn't been raining much here in north dallas, try to do a rinseless wash every week. Once it starts raining, if it ever does again, every 2-3 weeks PT3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kourtney@Adams Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Definitely no longer than two weeks for me! during warm seasons sometimes every 4-5 days..... During the winter 2 weeks max. Can't stand my car being dirty. AmyAtAdamsAustralia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Depends on the weather where I live. If they're calling for a stretch of nice dry weather I'll wash the DD the first dry day. As for the show car, I wash it right after or just before the show. In the winter, the DD gets washed when it's warm enough. I don't have the luxury of a heated garage and have to do it outside in the driveway which I don't particularly want to turn into an ice skating rink. So it's not as often in the winter.

0 Ricky Bobby Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 In Texas, I'd be cleaning once a week, maybe a rinseless wash or a waterless wash in between if you aren't in an excessively dusty area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cwilliams Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 I live in west Texas. Farm land and I work at a sheet rock plant. All I see is dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 chops1sc Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I try to wash every week. If I miss a weekend, I do it in the middle of the next week. Rare, but sometimes I have to go 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rkj4243 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Like most, depends upon the weather, especially here in Michigan, home state of the worse roads in America. No longer than a week, even if it means my daily driver only stays clean for a day, based on the weather. I tend to be OCD about keeping vehicles clean and looking their best. A that means, (3) vehicles during the summer months, as my Corvette gets "detailed and stored" from the middle of October through the "last of snow, salt and winter debris removed from the roads" sometime in late April to early May. Winter will see Rinseless washes, and the occasional trip to a hand wash facility to remove excess salt and grime on the (2) others typically driven daily.

0 egott_91 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 In the winter, it might go the entire winter not being hand washed. I'll spray it off periodically when the roads are dry. During the spring, summer, and fall. Usually once every 2 weeks depending on the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 pirahnah3 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Im on at least a weekly rinseless wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chris@Adams Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 My DD'S at least once a week......My GTO gets WW or DS wipe down after every drive. Kourtney@Adams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 PT3 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I only do a bucket wash after driving through rain. Otherwise, I do a Rinseless about once a week. And I do Rinseless 'wipe-downs' a couple-few times a week...depending on weather conditions and driving habits that week. I also wipe down my wheels anywhere from 2-6 times per week. (Keep in mind, the brakes on my M5 produce RIDICULOUS amounts of dust. And I like my 21" HRE's (car jewelry!) to be as clean as possible. Actually...I'm going to go wipe them down right now. Lol In the winter time... All this goes out the window. I may go WEEKS without washing if the temps don't allow for it.

0 LFairbanks Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Usually once a week, on the weekends. As that is all my time allows. Sometimes I have too much on my plate and the wash gets missed. Winter time I usually have more time as there isn't the projects like the warmer months. PT3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DieselDude Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I try to wash my daily driver every two weeks during the spring, summer, and fall (work, farm, and other things keep me busy). Winter is a different story. I remember one time it was cold, bad weather, etc. and it was two months before I could even do a wash. I always wash it in the winter after every snow we receive to wash all the salt off. Usually have to change the rinse water many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jeffo65 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Wash the cars about 1 a week along with daily detail sprays to remove dust. Detailing my cars is a way to relax after work for me. It is something I enjoy doing. PT3 and TheWolf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Abraham5G Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I live in the country and it gets very dusty, I wash once a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BRZN Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Depends on the weather, but right now, my wife works until 7:30 on Fridays and I can usually knock off Friday's around 2:00, perfect amount of time to detail one of our cars. If the Week's Friday and Saturday are nice, a car gets washed. My wife has her car, I have my daily driver, as well as my company car, all three are washed in rotation. So, that being said, and the weather being nice, each car gets washed every third week. My GTO gets a wipe down before and after every drive; WW or RW.

0 mc2hill Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The wife's car - about every other week. My truck, once a month or so. My son's car (away at school) 3 times a year (thankfully it has a coating on it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mongosg8 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Everyday! ..J/K ..I'm an OCD freak when it comes to a clean car but not straight jacket worthy ..lol Like others stated depends on weather. Also ..Its not my DD ..I wash weekly during the nice seasons Winter its not driven and its stored in my garage. I make sure its nice & clean before I store her. Sad to say ..My G8 never sees rain unless I'm out and cannot control mother nature. Edited October 12, 2015 by Mongosg8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Cwilliams
How often do all of you wash your vehicles? Weekly basis? Or just wait till it's needed? I usually go no longer than two weeks even if it needs it or not. Just curious as to what everyone else does.
