For sure when it starts to look like this, as we have a lot of non paved dirt/mud roads here, it doesn't take much to get really dirty.

Always fun at automatic car washes, hey it didn't get it all clean.

Sour-rose · Accepted Answer

Costs me $8 to wash my car at this mexican automatic wash. But it's white and only has the blood of bugs I hit. So i ain't that worried about washing it that often.

Apple1996 · Answer

Like never but gonna have to do it soon since my car is covered in pollen. It's white but starting to look like I painted it yellow 😂

Dinosaursandanime65 · Answer

I don’t own a car (yet). Speaking of owning cars, are vans relatively cheap? Like, compared to a car that you’d get for your 18th birthday or something, is it expensive? I think vans are so cool, it’s like an RV, but it’s better because it’s small meaning there’s a lower chance of it falling over and there’s enough space to call it your bedroom, it’s the perfect land vehicle. But, if I did own a vehicle of some sort, I’d probably just wash it whenever it needs to get washed. I’m not germaphobic, but I do like clean environments like any normal person, but I mean, cleaning your car? It can’t possibly get so bad to where you need to do it more than 6 times in 4 weeks. At that point you might as well get it fixed or something because there’s probably a busted headlight. Honestly though, I don’t exactly see too many situations where a van is exactly necessary. It would be really cool but I mean, it’s not like I’d live in it. I could camp out in there, but….. no one does that.. who does that? Eh I don’t know…

ohshee · Answer

I've had a car since I was 16 and a half I think I've only had one of my cars to wash maybe twice in the same day because there was a baked sale going on for school I wash my own car I wash my own truck I used to wash my motorhome I used to wash my boat used to wash my dirt bike I got two arms thank God and I like to wash my vehicle I like to mow my lawn I like the vacuum
And at the same time that doesn't mean that tomorrow they'll have a bake sale at school someplace and they'll do car washes I like cookies LOL

zeitgeist057 · Answer

I drive my motorcycles about 95% of the time, so my truck gets driven pretty rarely. So rarely, in fact, that it would be FILTHY every time I went to drive it (once a month or less), so I finally went ahead and bought a cover for it.

Now, I probably wash it 3-4 times a year, if that. I go to the same gas station car wash, which sells me a code good for multiple washes, and there's some deal like I get a bonus wash for paying for three up front. The other thing is my truck is white, so it doesn't look dirty that easy like it would if it were a black truck.

MuddyMole · Answer

Once a year, right before its MOT inspection, just to try and give the impression that it's a well maintained vehicle, still as good as the day it rolled off the production line. Obviously, the second they get it on the lift and see the state of it underneath, that illusion is going to be shattered, but still...

The_Shadow_Dweller · Answer

When we are set to go out. That day, in the morning, the car gets cleaned.

The regular one is always clean, but the big one is not used that many times, so we put cover on it. And when required, clean the cover, let it dry, remove it from the car, and then clean the car too and then take off.

slatyb · Answer

A couple of times a year, more if I'm driving it in winter. They don't salt the roads here, so I'm not so worried about salt-induced corrosion. If you live in a place where they use salt for ice removal, then have it washed frequently, or at least rinse it off.

dustybiker · Answer

I used to wash and wax my first truck (as a teen) three times a week…. This year the thick dirt was washed off my poor boy, by the only second day of torrential rain we’ve had this year.. couple days ago. He’s now shiny again. He needs a wax.

LaFerrari · Answer

I wash my car once a week, but I do full detail wash and interior cleaning once a month, that includes waxing the exterior and shampooing/conditioning interior.

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

Every week, I schedule the auto detailer to come on Thursday afternoons because that’s when the. Lawncare people come, so the jeep is usually covered in leaves and grass clippings! Perfect time to wash it!

MrOracle · Answer

I run my work van through a car wash about every other month, and hand wash it about twice a year. I don't drive my car much so I don't have to wash it very often.

TransAm85 · Answer

Last year I got a new Sierra and I also have a dog that I take w/me everywhere and he sheds, so I wash that at least once a month. My old Ram and my husband's Denali.. sometimes?

TwinkleLily5 · Answer

Twice a month, because I get it waxed too.  If it was possible I’d get it done 1x a week. Another big factor is where you keep your car—in the garage or outdoors. The pollen does not miss!
