How often do you wash and wax and properly clean your car?

Tend to do mine and OH's every 2 or 3 weeks...

this becomes less frequent in the winter though i'm ashamed to admit as he does a fair bit of motorway driving and my driving down muddy lanes to the yard means the cars are dirty again within a few days!

Not often enough and certainly not as often or as thoroughly as many here!! Probably every 3 or 4 weeks... I wash it as often in winter, but it's never dry enough to polish it really. Or not when I'm not busy. Or something.

Muddy lanes to the yard? :gasp:

Oh phew, just realised it's a renault clio

Won't be once i've saved enough money for a Golf! (Think i've decided on a Golf now, OH keeps pointing out random cars all the time now 'what about that one?') Will still have to do the same journey then too!

Proper Wax on wax off clean probably 3-4 times a year. Rinse off and wash with shampoo with a drop of polish in the bucket about once a month. Be careful giving ya Clio a good polish I understand you can rub them away!!!!!

mine has a 'wash rinse' every 2/3 weeks and a proper wash and wax every 4/6 weeks. i only polish and seal around every 3/4 months. during winter, it will be a weekly wash, with a wax when its decent enough to lol

I get mine washed every Saturday morning when i go for a paper (when i can drive

). I go to one of those places where you sit in the car and they wash it for you.
They do a very good job too

Wax / Seal probably 2-3 times a year.

So far it has been about 5 weeks since I washed it. This dark grey charcoal colour looks the same clean or dirty. The only thing I do is clean the plastic wheels and hey presto she looks a beaut
