In the summer, probably every 1-2 weeks. In the winter, probably once a month.

I'm in the "fair weather only driving, covered parking, wash infrequently" camp.

As long as its in good condition (no dents, no dings, no scratches) underneath the dirt, I'm a happy camper. There's a diamond underneath the grime.

I'm in the weirdo club. Lets just say that I have to look at pictures to see what they look like dirty (these are by nature "dirty pictures").

I took the 97 out for the 1st time this year today and spent 3 hours cleaning when I got home. I need help.

Mines never dirty. Never driven in bad weather unless I get caught in rain. I used to wash it about once a week (mainly for the fun of it). After seeing swirl marks, changed to once every three weeks. I use a California duster to keep the dust down. Inside is always spotless.

My 993 is peppered with rubber deposits from track events, some from more than 2 years ago. I keep it washed but haven't had the opportunity to polish and wax it recently.

My story almost word-for-word.

One question though. I try like h**l to keep water off the lower rear window for fear of rust developing under the seal so I rarely "wash" the top of the car and use detailer and wax to keep clean. How do you guys deal with that bad seal on the rear window?

My car always is well waxed. I wash as little as possible but when I do the wax allows me to be very very gentle so I save the paint quality.

Like Dan said I also want to avoid rust in the rear window so I always pull the bottom corners off and blow out all the water that might collect there.

My car almost always looks clean and detailed but I will drive it hard and dirty when the mood strikes.

explain this to me, cause I've never really understood. Washing a car is a brutal, annoying, and unpleasant experience. Then you have to dry it. Then you have to clean up the drips, streaks, etc.

Can you explain what you find enjoyable about it?

another thing that needs some explanation. 15 hours of work to park on someone's lawn, just to lose points for having a spec of dust in an air vent and "excess grease" on a hinge. Seeing people spend so much time cleaning a piece of metal only to be disappointed when they get a 91 or whatever seems like a silly exercise to me.

Wash it, why?

It's black so... constantly.

The DE guys laugh at me for having the cleanest car.

As my DD and kid hauler, it is DIRTY. Dirty, dirty, dirty. Snack crumbs inside. Road grime and bird **** on the outside. Curb rash on the wheels. And it likes it that way!

As long as it looks OK from about ten feet away it's clean enough.

I wash it maybe once a month. In summer, I usually will use detail spray about once a week. Wax it about two times a year. Just bought a da polisher and will be giving her a god paint correction this spring. I have practiced on our other cars so looking forward to it. Inside generally stays clean, but vacuum when I wash. This is my dd though I work from home office.
