Car wash!!

Was just wondering how many times a week people wash there clios??!! I hate a dirty car so I wash probably 3 times a week and at weekends remove wheels, clean calipers and wash under each arch! Am I being over the top!!!:-0 views??

Depends how dirty it gets? If you aren't doing many miles then yes, you have a problem lol.

Normally every 2 weeks for me. But the weather has been so crap recently I've not washed it in 4months :S

Once a week then once every 3 month i tend to have a good 2 day bash at the car to correct any problem areas and protect the car.

I used to wash my cars weekly but can never be bothered with it now. Will probably do it more often when the weather is actually nice though.

Fortnightly.

I'd imagine you're doing more damage than good cleaning it more than once a week, regardless of how good your technique is.

Three times a week?!? Insane. I haven't washed my bus in about 2 months. It's minging. It's also cold outside.

No thanks.

Once a month if its lucky, usually if it gets bad enough a friend does it for me because it pisses them off lol.

I dont mind cleaning the interior often as I have to sit in it, but the outside meh!

Hard to keep clean anyway when you do 350+ miles a week.

When I can be arsed.

Normally once a fortnight in the summer. Once a month if it's lucky in the winter.

usually once a week, weather dependent. also having a silver car means it doesnt really show the dirt as much as say a black car or white car would. used to be pretty obsessive in the past with some of my cars, got over that stage now. i do like to have a nice clean car though.

Mine hasn't been washed in over a year now. I used to be into detailing, but I've become too lazy!

I was honestly expecting an 18 year old. Jesus mate, wash it when it's dirty - and even then do the absolute bare minimum.

3-4 times a year.

Although a mate just washed it the other day for me,
but he's a detailing freak and I think he couldn't stand it any more. lol

A guy up the road has a black EP3 with white wheels and he cleans it every night at 530pm when he gets home from work, then puts it in the garage. He then gets it back out at 630am when he goes to work. You can set your watch by him. Every single day without fail. Inside the wheels with all sorts of brushes etc. The thing looks like new.

If he needs to go out after 530, he'll take his wifes car, the same if they go on holiday etc.

Guy at work, I'd guess mid-late 40s, has an awful looking Bini, bright yellow, lots of chrome :dead:.... washes the wheels every lunchtime. Burst out laughing when I saw him doing it as I walked past. What the actual........ :S
