My car hasn't been clean since the beginning of December. It's currently under a pile of snow in my driveway. Hopefully the rain on Saturday will clean the car.

yeah, well...

I washed the max last week, when the snow was starting to melt. Went to go pick up the wife right afterwards, about 5 miles away. She couldn't even tell I'd washed it

i cleaned my car a few days before the snow fell and now that the snow melted off the car, it still looks clean. i guess the water in the snow preserved the cleanliness of the car.....

Since mine was in the shop a lot it was dirty from December to late January. That was a pretty large stretch for my car.

Since i've purchased my maxima (december 2002), I've only been able to wash it 3 times. I washed it last week thinking it wasn't gonna snow no more, and then we get socked with 28 inches.

The storms that are dumping the snow on you guys are the same storms that are flooding our a$$es out down south! Every time I think about washing my car, it rains. It's been raining for a week and a half, and it's supposed to continue through the weekend. If I didn't have to drive, it'd be clean, but the mud and crap all over the roads from the flooding is what's killing my Max. The ONLY good thing about all of this rain is that it has completely washed away all of the salt on the roads around here. Now, if the sun will come out, and it'll just make it to about 75 degrees and stay there for a month or two, I'd be happy!!!

Try living in Seattle - it's worthless to wash your car from November to May, because of the constant rain....

I wish it would at least snow - but that doesn't seem to be in the cards this year - it's constantly 40 degrees and raining - every day, every night....

But DYAM it's pretty and green and sunny here during the summer - 75 degrees, 0% humidity - makes it all worth it - I wash her once a week in the summer here.

hm 2 weeks. I get the interior cleaned every week regardless of anything else. Basically if the cars around me are clean its time for a bath. Else i really don't care. It gets muddy and stuff just by the time i get to work so its kinda pointless.

I cant lie about this, its been a good 4 months now I havnt washed the max. Kinda a combination of not having enough time, working when then car wash is open and just plain being lazy when I have a few hrs. To be honestu cant even tell it dirty unless ur standing like 10ft from the car, then it get horrible. It got really bad after it rained last thursday. Hopefully ill get a chance to wash it asap but it really sucks to drive a car when its dirty.
