I'm about the same. Usually every other day. Back roads are fun and all but this time of the year, the bugs make my car look like a giant fly swatter. >_>

I used to wash it every week when I had time, then every 2 weeks when I was a little busy, now a month =( stupid school lol.. but back to every week or 2 after tomorrow!

Usually about once every few months. However, it's also very dependent on how dirty my car is.

Maybe every other week. It gets dirty after 2 days but I only have access to a public self-wash place. $10-15/week isn't worth it to me for one day of it being clean.

And the weather is completely unpredictable so a few times I got caught with a random rain the next day and it's dirty again.

Every week. Raven blacks are so high maintenance.

If your washing your car right, I dont see how you could possibly have the time/need to wash your car everyday. Last time I washed/waxed on Saturday it took me 6.5 hours. No bullshit. I try to get a wash in every two weeks, just depends on how much she got driven.

I take comfort in this thread to know that I'm not the only one washing my car every week...no matter how many people make fun of me. :D

I live in an apartment and cannot bring myself to pay $10 a week to go through the touch-free, which only does a half-ass job anyways. I usually do it every 3 weeks, but if there are bugs or bird shit I bump that up a bit

Yep, this is my routine.

My days off Mondays and Fridays. So twice a week since raven is such a hard color to keep up with. :(

Let today's tornado power wash the passenger side of the car; park the other way next time a storm rolls through.

RAWR BRZ 06-14-2013 02:46 AM

Almost never. Only wash it once i get dirt in my car OR free car washes lol.

KkSc 06-14-2013 02:47 AM

I wish i could wash it once a week!

FrX 06-14-2013 02:49 AM

I usually take it through the touchless wash every week or so. Every couple of months it gets a deep clean detail.
