how many times do you clean your car

I find car washing to be very therapeutic. I typically wash three cars in a weekend. There are six cars, four of which are garage queens to look after (they get so dusty! :doh:), so fortnightly is my answer.

As for clay bar, paint clean, polish & wax, this is a process each car undergoes once a year.
 
how many times do you clean your Merc i clean mine three times a week thats wash and wax , and do the inside at lest twice a week:thumb::thumb:

couple of times every year .
 
Between rain showers.
 
I clean my van 2/3 times a week, that may sound excessive, but as I average 2,000 miles per week so it's only washed every 700-1000 miles, in the winter (lack of frost permitting) I can go over it daily with the jet wash to get 200 miles of M way c**p off it!

I clean the C class most weekends, but as that only does a 100 miles a week that is admittedly probably excessive, the wife visits her dad who lives up a farm track a couple of times a week so that's the reason, but I do like it clean!

once every two to three weeks dependent on weather of course
 
On average I wash each car (three) once a week and apply polish if the water does not bead. If I have had the cars out in poor weather or encountered rough ground conditions, on events, which has been nearly every bloody week this year I will power wash the underside and wheel arches as soon as I can.
I must appear to be a bit of a "*****", but I have found this is the only way to keep my cars in A1 condition. Oh and I wash the wifes car (Toyota) a couple of times a month.
 
Wash every week, inside every month. top up protection every couple of months.

Machine polish every year.
 
Approx once a week outside and once a month inside (it's great not having kids to mess it up!). I'd wash the outside even more if it didn't take so bl**dy long to clean the wheels properly - I'm obsessive enough to have to clean ALL the brake dust off them every time. (Does anyone have a quick method to do this without using chemicals?)
 
Twice a week or whenever the wife needs to clean the house and I have to evaculate to safety.
 
Mercedes gets washed as required depending on use. Maybe once every two/three weeks.

Land Cruiser get the mud & horse poo blasted off it about twice a year. Recent heavy rains been quite handy in that regard
 
I find car washing to be very therapeutic....


Absolutely. :thumb:

Was alittle stressed after work the other day, so I spent an hour or so in my garage cleaning down the underneath of the car. I find it very calming.

As for how many times I clean the car... Do you guys really want me to answer that? Lol :D

It's easier and fair to say that I don't stop :o

It is a perpetual cycle. When one part of the car is detailed, it's time to do something else..

Once or twice a week, white is pain:wallbash:
 
1

1 or 2 times a month for my c-class, plus Meguiars detailing spray ever 4-5 days days or so to keep the wax nice and preserved
 
Once a week normally (including alloys of course as a clean body and dirty wheels look ugly!!) , hoover it once a month, polish twice a year.
