Car cleaning how often do you clean your car?



  PH2 Clio 172
Anyone else get fed up of finding new stone chips and little scratches every time they wash the car (or do I just have the softest paint in the world...)
 
  Not a 320d
No mines been raped this winter, and the fox i pagger'd didnt exactly help. Get some IPA and touch up paint, and rub both as a mixture into the effected area, then polish once dry.

Usually was once a month-ish from March to November, or earlier if it got really dirty.

Haven't washed it since October at the moment though. Will do it in a couple weeks after exams and hopefully once a week/fortnight thereafter.

Regular wash every weekend.
Deep wash including wheel arches, inner side of wheels and engine compartment every month.
Detail once a year unless something happens.

Spent 16 Hours on mine this week just gone doing a full clean and polish and LSP but thats once a year (Maybe twice).

Other than that once a week with a quick wash and every other week another layer of LSP

Slightly ott, surely that can't be a good thing for the paint machine polishing so often

If i hear one more person say any of the following to me again

"You are going to wash the paint off it."

or

"Just do mine while you are at it."

I will jet wash them right in the head, everybody thinks you have a problem because you want to keep your car clean. How about shut the f**k up and dont speak to me.

Spent 5 hours on mine today giving it a good going over, its spotless. i tend to try for twice a week if i can but it is at least once a week.
 
I used to wash it weekly, In the summer sometimes twice weekly, Always enjoyed coming back from out with mates or going out to see it spotless.

Slacking lately, Rather do something else than wash it, However still gets a good going over every 3 weeks or so.

Mines in dire need of some polishing etc will do as soon as the weather brightens up!
