I try to wash it about every 2 weeks and wax about once a month. The car is garaged everyday so it doesnt get too dirty but it still gets very dusty at times.

Wash averaged once every 2-3 weeks... and wax average of once every month.

I would suggest however, to clay bar it every 4 or 5 months.

Was twice a week until it became a crime to wash cars during drought restrictions...

Now it's about 1 a week in stealth at night (I live in a complex crawling with cops).

Once a week in summer. It's starting to get really cold out here now, so I will probably do it much less often now.

In the summer, I washed it every other week and sometimes skipped a week if I got lazy or forgot.

In the winter, if no snow - once a month. If there was snow - after the snow melted.

if u have a black car, you need to wash it everyday to keep it completely spotless (not kidding).

after i wash my car, the next day there is already dust particles and other crap on it. i usually wash it once a week and try to ignore the dirt that shows up the next day.

wash it compound it then wax, after that you can use quick detail spray in between washes, (you dont have to compound and wax but I find it works better to give the car a good clean, and then you wash it once a week and then in between hit it with the QD

Spring, summer, and warm Fall days, It's once a week in the back of my house.

Cool fall days and winter: I have friends who own a detail shop and they will let me come in and wash my car (yes, I bring "the bin" )

I wash my car as often as possible......
Sometimes as much as twice a week, but never less than once a month.

During the warm months, every weekend unless it rains. I have a black car so it NEEDS to be washed every week.

During the winter, when the streets are dry and there is no snow in the forecast for a few days. I'm generally less **** about my car during these months.

well over the summer it was more often...but since i'm at school it's harder. i usually do if i get bird poop on it or it starts looking dusty. the rain has been saving me of those lately though...i'd say i do right now once a weekend if i get the chance or every other.
