Here lately? About 3x a week. It's the rainy season here in Florida and I can't bear my little baby being dirty. One drive in the rain and it's all dirty again

Every weekend is the best time for me. However, if it's a rainy weekend or the days ahead have chances of rain, I'll quick detail it until the next gorgeous weekend for a wash & wax.

I shoot for once a week, but if it is a rainy week it usually takes two before I can show her some love.

i usually average once a month, but i've always wondered whether washing more or less often is best for the paint. this is taking into consideration that there's nothing chemically harmful on the paint like bugs or bird poop - just dust.

It's very windy here in OK, so my BRZ is constantly covered in dirt, dust, pollen, and various other crap. It practically demands to be washed once a week. I alos wax every two to four weeks depending on the weather conditions and how much of a beating the car has taken.
