    With what frequency do you wash your own car?

    With what frequency do you wash your own car?

    As the question implies, on your daily driver/main vehicle, how often do you find yourself washing it?

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

    I always try and wash it at least once a week. Sometimes I get lucky and can get it twice depending on how busy I am. I have tried ONR to speed up the wash process but I feel the bonded contaminates I get on my vehicles are more than what ONR was made for. So it is always a 2BW.

    I wash mine once a week sometimes I`ll let it go two weeks if it`s not bad and I`m busy.

    Once a week. That seems to keep it looking freshly detailed pretty much all of the time.

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

    I think I`m like the shoemaker whose children have no shoes. After driving 3 rounds a week from Indy to Owatonna MN. and working on friends and family cars my DD doesn`t get much TLC. The Firebird hides in the garage but the F-250 sits out in the weather 24/7 . I refuse to take it to the local tunnel wash so about every other month is what it gets. Now next month after I retire and put my "Distinctive Auto Detail` logo on the rear door glass it will be as clean as I can keep it to show off my work. LOL.

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

    My biggest fear is water spots. I don`t know why but they scare me to the point of having nightmares! So I wash my car every time it gets wet and I probably use a no-rinse like ONR or DP`s at least twice a week (besides soap and water). It`s an obsession. I am actually going to buy a beater car so my Speed3 can sit inside the garage and stay clean!

    I like to keep the paint shiny and slippery, gives me better gas mileage.

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

    I have 2 cars to wash and they get wash about once every 2 weeks if possible. It`s summer time and rains 3-5 times a day here. When it`s not summer it`s once a week here

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

    Once a week and it`s always a conventional wash, usually followed by a layer of Hydro. I have a heated garage and continue weekly washes throughout the winter months.

    Washing my cars isn`t work. To me, it`s exercise, relaxation and accomplishment all in one bundle.

    I just got back from a 3 day trip to Cincy and it`s getting washed after work today.
