    How often do you guys wash your car?

    I just want to know because I wash my car every week. Not that it gets dirty from my frequent driving :rolleyes: , but that my mom always leaves the garage door open and my car gets covered in dust. Also, what shampoo do you use? I use Meguiars, the Extra suds one or whatever, it smells like dog shampoo...

    Aw man, I wish my car stayed in a garage. I usually wash my car every two weeks cuz I don't have too much time. I'm just using el cheapo shampoo for now, it seems to be working ok.

        I wash mine when its either really dirty or if I know its not gonna rain for atleast two days, I hate washing my car then waking up the next day to find out it rained. Now that summers coming up, I'll probly only do it once a week instead of twice since I have a California duster, those things really save you time for those inbetween washes, cuz my car only gets dirty when it has that light layer of dust over it, and the duster takes it right off!

          I wash my car every Friday or Saturday. One nice thing about having a Pewter car, is when it gets dirty in between washes, the dirt blends in with the color of the car :D Unfortunately our garage is a mess, and our door is broken, so I have to keep the car outside... but I keep her in good condition!

            I was it when it gets dirty... I washed it yesterday and waxed it so I bought a california duster to get dust and pollen off every morning..

            Good thing about the wax I can just wash it and dry and it will still shine...I think [img]smile.gif[/img]
            See Look!!!

                i wash mine at least once a week. my general rule is: if you can't see yourself in the paint, it's time for a wash. sometimes i do it just b/c i'm bored. [img]tongue.gif[/img] i love washing my car, i don't see how ppl can consider that a chore [img]graemlins/dunce.gif[/img]

                i'll get a pic up later today...need to wash it first. :D

                    About every 2-3 days...lol. Damn black cars, I swear, you wash them, stick them in the garage, come out 15 minutes later and it's dirty again.

                            I wash mine every other day and wax every weekend. My parents water bill will probably be cut in half when I move out.
