    Do you do a hose or rinseless wash?

    Hmmmmmm, I don`t remember bashing the Stones. Was it the video you posted on TID? Anyway, its only rock n roll but I like it. They have a few tunes I can live with. (Just don`t swing too hard with that stick, it looks like it might hurt.)

    Re: With what frequency do you wash your own car?

    You guys will hate my response. Both of the vehicles I`ve driven were/are lucky to get washed even once a month. More like every couple of months. Primarily because they are both heavily rusted/clearcoat was basically completely gone on one car.

    When I worked at the bodyshop I`d wash the first car (I just recently put the first down and got a different beater) I would wash the car 1-2 times a week.

    Being in Michigan with no access to a heated garage with a drain type space really puts a damper on any winter cleanings. I`ll wash it more frequently in the winter just to get the corrosive salt off the car, but its still pretty infrequent.

    The girlfriends brand new car however is a different story. I`ve been washing that every week. Need to pull it into the garage and give it a good light polish/sealant/wax setup though before the weather gets too cold.

    Even though I don`t wash my own stuff frequently.. If I had access to a garage with good lighting, floor drain, and underbody sprayers.. Omg.. I`d probably wash/wax damn near every other day. I love the smell of natty`s and soap

    I own several cars, so once and sometimes twice a week, as for being in a Detailing Business its important to maintain your personal vehicles.

    Re: With what frequency do you wash your own car?

    I try and remember to wash mine once a week, but it ends being more like every two. My cars stays in the climate controlled underground parking at my apartment. I don`t have hose access so I am limited to ONR washes, but it works nicely because I can do it at all hours of the night.

    My car is silver, the paint has never been corrected by me in the year I`ve had it, so I`m not always as diligent with my detailing duties as I should be. Not to mention both the bumpers were resprayed by the dealership I purchased it from, and they did an absolutely terrible job. Thankfully silver is very forgiving.

    My autocross car sits outside under a cover in my parent`s driveway. I think I may have washed it once this year, maybe not though. The clear coat is failing all over the entire car, so I don`t care for it very much. At some point I`d like to try my hand at wrapping it with vinyl.
