How many time do you wash your car in a week?

[riceboy075]

How many time a week do you wash your car? as for me, every other day.

[3dkahuna]

1 a month maybe 2
:mangel:

[Bificus]

Once or twice a week before the drought really had us in a stranglehold. You should consider a quick detailer or brush. Its more like every 2 weeks, and now it has to be at a car wash not at home due to water restrictions. Sucks.

[jtyler05si]

a week? probably .333 times a week

[todaamann]

every friday after work!!:mcool:

[riceboy075]

yeah if you guys are going technical then for me is like every other day and on the nights before the weekend i wax, rims, to behind the wheels,i mean literally the whole nine yard. and armor all(i think thats what its call)

[Royal]

Maybe twice a month. My driveway is really long so we just have gravel until we can afford to have concrete, so it really doesn't matter if I wash it. It gets dirty 2 seconds later.

[CivicDuty]

Once a week

[Kodeen]

Times in a week? Like plural?

How about 'how many times do you wash your car in a fiscal quarter?', which would be once or twice.

lol fiscal quarter...

[riceboy075]

Hey have you guys ever spray wheel cleaner on your exhaust, that stuff shines your exhaust, its pretty koo

[SiN05]

once a week depending on the weather anymore is kinda rediculous unless u went mudding the day.

[27rocks]

1 a month maybe 2
:mangel:

+2 lol

Hahhah, hilarious. Sadly, the same for me. We're on some tight water restrictions over here and I refuse to go to automated car washes.

[si4life]

i would say once every 2 months.

[civicswapper]

once a week.

[mr-alternative]

Depends of neccessary....from 2 per week up to 1-2 times in month

[dichotomous]

I wash when the season changes, sometimes more in winter if I wanna spend the dough for the local wash, helps keep the salt off.

[shadowmd]

i'd say about 2 as long as rain isn't expected.....

[Da90Ls]

I wash my car probably once a month. But the interior is a different story. Every 3 days I vacuum the interior, armorall the interior, windex inside windows (all around) and windex outside windows.

Every time I wash my car I apply some more Rain-x to all the exterior windows, shampoo the whole interior, clean inside lip and outside face of the rims, and MeGuires 3 Stage wax it. Alng with everything above.

Never use tire shine. I heard it dry rots the rubber. Sidewall leaks are no fun, and almost impossible to find with the rim ff the car. It will only leak with some weight on the tire.

Other than that I never wash my car.

[IsaacEK]

I was my car on average probably once every two weeks. With all the rain we've had around here lately, it just isn't worth washing it any more often than that.

[Da90Ls]

If it wasn't for the brake dust n the rims. I could probably get away with washing my car only 2wice a year.

SSM is the best just for that reason. No show dirty.

[Gargola]

yeah if you guys are going technical then for me is like every other day and on the nights before the weekend i wax, rims, to behind the wheels,i mean literally the whole nine yard. and armor all(i think thats what its call)

I used be that way... then I met a girl... :love:

[dichotomous]

I should clean the interior more, it gets dirty fast, and by dirty I mean piled up with kids toys, half eaten food from the kids, dirt from shoes, dash marks from my lady putting her feet up there, fast food containers, junk mail.....
oh well, I do what I do, after an hour commute home from 9hrs of work and facing getting the kids fed and played with and put to bed, I dont really care about the cleanliness of my car....

washing the car every other day is a really stupid waste of time, or do you take it offroading and rally racing every day? do you have constant pollen? or are there people who cannot tolerate the slightest drop of dirt or mud on their precious civics paint?

[hatch404]

once a week or sometimes i'll skip a week. Every other day is just overkill:mconfused:

[riceboy075]

I used be that way... then I met a girl... :love:


Man dude who cares, wash and watch your true babe get clean.:mbiggrin:

[MR.Pizza]

Once a day mostly if I drive it, if it needs it I'll wash it again when I get home. So that could be up to 14 times a week.


I've washed my car in the rain and then pulled it into the garage to dry it. Wheels get blown dry with a leaf blower, and it works well around the rest of the car between body panels and the hatch.

[powerofdreams08]

i wash mine prolly around 2-3 times a month.

you are crazy.

edit: isn't there a section for this?

[cow]

you are crazy.

edit: isn't there a section for this?
psychiatric section?

[jtyler05si]

psychiatric section?

nah, i was thinking the "car care" section....besides isn't this pretty much a psychiatric forum in general?

[cow]

good point.

to the thread tools... &&&&& moved.

[jtyler05si]

i envy your tools sir

[cow]

It's so nice to not have to post in that "report problems" thread & wait.

[drjd888]

I try to wash at least once a month.

[liquidd]

Hey have you guys ever spray wheel cleaner on your exhaust, that stuff shines your exhaust, its pretty koo


I had been, but my exhaust started to look really dull.....(i have stock axle back)i dont know if it was leaving a residue, or taking something off (other than dirt)....i stopped using it, and it seems less dull, ie: looks better.....

and i wash my car once every 1 to 2 weeks.....i used to detail the inside and out twice a week---way too much work for nothing.....

[Blackexcoupe]

Black car I washed every week, white car I wash every month, and silver car I wash every 3-4 months. :mbiggrin:

For you guys that live in areas with water restrictions have you considered using Optimum no rinse? It requires only 2 gallons of water to wash your car since there is no rinsing involved.

[william]

every friday after work!!:mcool:


Me too!!!!!

hey wanna hang out?

[epslow]

:meek: wow your a beast! i wash it once a week sometimes twice if it gets really dirty.

[MR.Pizza]

True, the voices tell me to do it. If I ignore them they just yell louder.:director::der:

[bigred]

once a week mayb once every 2. Every other day is just overkill...

[Da90Ls]

On the water restrictions factor. Go to the store and buy a couple gallons of water. Over here in MD there about .89 cents each - 1.80 depends if you want to use some expensive water. I heard it makes the wash quality come out better.

Seriously though bottled water doesn't have as much metals in it as say a hose spicket, so shouldn't there be a better wash quality?

hell yeah:msmile:

[donkeygong64]

0 to none. I'm too lazy. I know i should cause of the fire's and the ash over here. But i'm just too lazy...

[Da90Ls]

I wonder what would happen if everybody over there turned thier hoses on and let them run. Would it cause enough moisture on the ground to be evaporated and cause a rain pour?

Far fetched idea. but funny to think about. Man made rain.

[danielakatoxic]

i was mine either once a week or every other week.

[trogdor48430]

once or even twice a week DAMN dirt road :mfrown:

[ShadySi]

.25 times a week

[ep3allen]

Once a week sometimes once every two weeks depending on how clean it stays. Sometimes just a quick wipe down.

[gutierrez626]

once a week. But I'm gona start it twice a week nhbp is hard to keep clean so u can see the blue sparkle through

[skoolnu]

i try to wash mine once a week, and wax it too. i work out of town, so it sits... alot.

[v1c10us]

Whenever I feel it needs it..
so sometimes once a week, sometimes once a month
sometimes very very frequently.
For me washing the car is more of a maintenance than wanting to look good.
I get bugs on my car and I refuse to let them sit there, bird poo can fuck your shit up so that cant stay, if it rains i'll wash it, anything that could do damage to my paint really.
My paintjob was 5 grand and I'd like to get my moneys worth out of it.

[EP3Casas]

every thursday afternoon..wash, dry, clean rims, claybar, wax, then vacuum and shine up the interior

[pkpkpk]

Wow, and I thought I was spending too much time on my car.

Usually once a week, wash/wax. Vacuum and detail interior every other week.

Then of course, the usual bird poop will scramble up my schedule.

[2005rollingegg]

Not enough. The condo I live in doesn't allow us to wash cars. So I have to drive to a friends house to get a wash. It can be a pain in the :mbiggrin: sometimes.

[fatathaland]

Once a week, usually on Sundays. I've gotten really good at it so that I can wash/dry my car in like 20 mins.

I'd say I do a good detail/clay bar/wax job on my car about 4 times a year, so every few months.

Don't forget the interior too: just yesterday I unbolted my seats and steam cleaned the upholstery and carpet. Looks just like like new again!

[sub_01]

I would wash once a week and wax once a month.

[ep3drc]

Once a day mostly if I drive it, if it needs it I'll wash it again when I get home. So that could be up to 14 times a week.

no wonder ur car is spotless , i spend months without washing my car sometimes

[makavelibranded]

once a month or near that

my uncle will wash any car,truck,or whatever vehicles hes currently owning(he goes through alot) the second he sees dirt on them

[Tnhatch03]

man, i just washed mine today.

nothing spectacular, but it has been a couple of months since i washed her. it depends, i use to go at least once a week back in 2002. lol. it seems like it is once every other month or two or three or four.

[MatUK.8]

Once a week. I just got my FA5 so I am gonna have to clay bar and wax this biz. but the EP3 was once a week and I waxed it once every couple of months.

[shivic]

i wash my type r 3 times per week. head to toe, inside out

[Lucid Moments]

I bet I've washed my car at least twice this year.:mredface:

Being in a drought really puts a crimp on things like that, but to be honest I wouldn't have done it that much more often anyway. Once a month at the absolute most.

[jw1]

I almost never wash car with water. I dust it once or twice a week and follow up in Meguirs Spray Detailer using a microfiber towel.

[itchy5]

dash marks from my lady putting her feet up there

why do all women have to put their feet on car dashes? i dont understand it :mconfused::mconfused:


i wash my type r 3 times per week. head to toe, inside out

damn, like hauled over from japan type R?:mtongue::mtongue:

[MasterPD85]

I have been blessed in the south with humidity and its weekly hellish thunderstorms so during the summer my car never gets washed lol

[theend2]

once a week

NHBP

[04bluepearl]

About once a week, wash and wax. Ill wash it up special before i "go out" on weekends and stuff. Then i use spray detailer, turtle wax ice, in between washes to keep it shiny :mcool:

[JDMtunerEP3]

How's that turtle wax ice?

I'm always so tempted to buy it but have been on a meguiars kick.

[04bluepearl]

^^So far i have just used the car wash and detail spray and think it does a wonderful job. I also have a bottle or ice polish (came in a kit at costco) and judging by the detail spray, performance it should be great as well. I defiantly recommend it.

[TheCor]

i hate the foot marks on the dash from my girl!!!!

it gets washed every week

[MugsyTheGr8]

i used to wash on a set schedule, but ive cut back to just washing it when it needs it.

[nrengle]

You really want to detail that interior, get a Bissell Little Green Machine and shampoo your carpets and seats. Make sure you get the water out, then wait about 6 to 8 hours as the seats take a bit of time to dry. Just never do the headliner, it will end up falling (friend learned this the hard way).

[JDMtunerEP3]

I'm a once a weeker as well.

[Shinobazu]

[Twizzle89]

Definitely at least once a week, but when its a nice day outside and i have break between classes, i've been doing a quick wash to get the pollen off. :-P And a full inside and out detail every two weeks.

[talonXracer]

The Bitch got a bath last Nov. and only a few spray downs during the salt season, and I expect she will get another bath sometime this spring.....................

[Kerby]

[cronicEP]

a wash and interior maybe once a week, engine bay once a month.

[starwars_ep3]

i guess it depends on how often we drive our cars and where we live.

once a week is enough for me since i only drive my car to school and back.
