Every 4 or 5 days.

No way.

Yes, by hand.

My ritual is usually on Thursdays and sometimes Mondays. I wash it with a hand mit and depending on how dirty the interior is I will clean it. I washed it today but skipped the interior since I'm a pretty clean guy

Once a week. Sometimes once every two weeks. Depends on the weather outside. Zaino all the way! Nothing else.

Every Sunday, unless the weather is bad.

When I was a teenager, it was a prep for the weekend; now it's to get ready to drive to work on Monday!

Handwashed, with Zaino exclusively, of course.

3x per month, touch up waxing as needed.

Self washed and waxed, of course. Would you trust your baby to be washed by a stranger?

An excellent idea! Would you recommend the Zaino Z-2, with a final splash of Z-6?

Every weekend for me, by hand, and by myself. When I only had my Civic, I used to be SO lazy about washing her. But since I got my Maxima, I never miss a weekend. And now that I'm so used to doing it, my Civic gets the same treatment. Lucky for her!

Of course, my girlfriend doesn't understand why I'm so seemingly **** about it. Oh well.

I wash mine every 2 weeks. My car has never washed by a machine.

I wax monthly with Zymol.

I steam clean every 2-3 months.
