    i tried to keep my car clean... but my drive way is 300 metres of dusty gravel it doesnt stay clean for long. i try to wash once a month, and at least once a week i wipe the dust off the car with a cloth. if i didnt live in such a dusty area i would keep it more cleaner but i guess that is one of the bad things about living in an area like this

    Every weekend it gets the full treatment.

    If it has rained during the week though i try to at least do a hose off at a car wash joint as soon as possible.

    I wash mine just about once every week.

    Every now and again I go all-out and spend a day polishing it.... but I mainly just wash it when it needs it to keep the paint in good condition.

    Once a month.
    Full detail once every 6 weeks (wash/paint clean/polish/wax/plastics detail/vacuum)

    My car is black, its a PITA to keep clean. Everytime I detail I see the carpark dings that show thru to the white undercoat and I ask myself why I bothered.
