How often do you wash your car?

when i get bored

Once a week.

>Tfw you take your foam cannon and coom all over your shitbox

most things are

Fpbp just drive in the rain, nigga

>paying other people or machines to wash your car
Buy a bottle of soap and a bucket, it's not that hard faggot.

I bought a foam cannon but I still use a mitt, I want to go full touchless.

yup

My car looks just as dirty as it did when it dries though

When the pollen/rain spots get too much for a quick detail.
Wash with Meguiars gold class
Clay every 2-3 washes because fuck paying the massive patent premium every other month
Seal with M21 or ultimate wax depending on the day.

Not driving fast enough

What kind of 'looks dirty'? Next time you wash, try drying it with a towel or something, maybe you just have fairly hard water in your area.

How do you intend to clean it properly every now and then with touchless?

>Meguiars gold class
Literally an overpriced meme. I use the $2 gallon stuff from autozone and it works just as well.

I just love the smell. Almost halfway through the jug after 3 years.

I wont bother with anything 'fancy' next time, though, you're right enough about that.

is there a wash and wax out there that foams up really well? meguires shit did and water beaded off really nice.

>wash and wax
absolutely plebian

nigga ill use a sealant as well twice a year.
paint isnt the best, car is 13 years old and has 270,000km so im not fussed

Monday or Tuesday they dust the parking lot at work. Thursday or Friday they dust the parking lot at home. I live in an apartment.

I can wash it Friday but it'll be dirty by Monday. I can was it Tuesday but Thursday or Friday it'll be dirty again. If it's not going to last at least 5 days clean I gave up washing my car.

What is 'dusting'?

Wash every two weeks, wax on the final week of every month. When I first started I was slow as shit. It took me 6 hours to do my first complete detail cleaning plus wax. Now I can do it all within a few hours depending on the weather.

What the hell?
Why can't they vacuum?

Roughly once every 6 months

>wash and wax
these are mutually exclusive terms friendo

exterior every 6 months interior every year

I do clean the wheels and the moving parts
its good to have a clean engine bay for repair
this
washing it would only dislodge the protective layer of oxidation anyway
and the long grass is quite happy to draw away any moisture that accumulates
>tfw my car was parked so long it has its own biosphere
>its accumulated natural pine needle and moss sent

Once when I buy it and once right before I sell it.

few times a week

During Winter not often since the weather here is shitty, in Summer though it depends on what's going on but usually once every 2-4 weeks.

>there are people
>on this site
>on this board
>within this very thread
>that say they really like their car but dont wash it weekly

bi-weekly

Every week, personally handwash it with two passes. Also use an expensive custom soap for car. Makes a big difference, you get what you pay for

Anybody that pays someone else to do it is just getting a half assed wash from some kid

I only wash it when it gets too dirty, isn't this what most people do?

My car is an old scratched, rusty, dented shitbox but during the non-winter months I wash it about once a week

ITT: retards who don't wax their cars.
>mfw
waxing your car every 3 months means you don't need to wash it as the dirt sprays off with a hose easily.

Does washing the windows count? If yes then once, if not then never.

once a week

The one time i washed my car is the one time ive had issues with it. Its fine in the rain and snow so its not mousture, just the act of washing it

>tfw your 200$ shitbox wont run if not caked in dirt and the blood if roadkill

Sometimes

when it gets very dirty and the automatic carwashing machine offers a discount

>Shitbox
Just the windows, mirrors and interior so I can see about once every 1-2 weeks.
>Pride and joy
Depends on how much I drove it that week.

But after you hose it off, don't you need to dry it off, m8? With a microfiber? Wouldn't you be removing wax as you're soaking up the water with the towel?

About once every week or two weeks depending on if it rained/is gonna rain or if I'm busy on my days off
