Re: how often do you wash your car? - Markiscool - 11-12-2012
Washed my wife's Accord yesterday for the first time in 7 years. Mine is still waiting. I usually run them through the automatic place once every three or four months. I just felt like hand washing it yesterday though. Usually I'm like the mafia...I don't do it, I have it done.

Local Honda dealer offers free car washes to all customers. I bought a used CRV from them. So now the cars get washed at least once a week.. whichever one I'm driving.
In the winter, cars NEED to be washed at least once a week or they rot away from all the salt they put on the roads. Winter combined with two enormous salt mines under Lake Erie makes for salt as a cheap de-icer. Unless your car is made of plastic or stainless steel, you're gonna have problems.

Probably about 5 years ago for the Cressida. Maybe 2-3 a year at the drive-through for the Saab; there are usually Groupon deals for the local place.

Once or twice a year. Simple answer is I have more important things to do with my time. It's 29 years old so I don't sweat it but I do keep the windows clean as that is quite an important thing and worth the time spent.

Every spring after the last snow and the first heavy rain which washes the salt off the roads and the car.
