I ask this because I was round my mates watching the footie on Sunday and his car was gleaming in the drive. He washes it twice a week normally, or just the once if he's having a busy week.I wash my car about four times a year, who's more normal?

the rain does it most of the time..
maybe once or twice a year for a proper wash when i feel like treating it!

good man, thats the sort of answer i was hoping for
Posted 2 years ago # -
2 or 3 times a year and even then it's only a basic clean. I just wash the headlights every week at this time of year.
It's a mode of transport nothing else.Posted 2 years ago # -
i bought my first new car 2.5 yrs ago (mostly for my g/friend and new kid) with promises to myself that i'll keep it clean.
i washed it once when we bought it and it was washed when it went for repair...
that's it.
always something better to do, i'm the same with my bikes!

about six times a year on the outside and inside alot less. That said i've had seat covers on since new and try not to spill food and drink inside - make less mess and have less to clear up. Its mainly dry mud / dust in my car off the bikes.

Once in 5 years. It's a tool, not an extension of my personality.

Take mine to the local handwash every 6 weeks or so.
Costs me a fiver, takes 15 mins and looks better than I could do in a full day. Got better things to do.Posted 2 years ago # -
Outside: never - it washes all the goodness off.
Inside: muck it out when you can't change gear properly.Posted 2 years ago # -
when i buy it! and never again... Bike 2 or 3 times a week....
Posted 2 years ago # -
Once a decade...if it rains-every week.
Bike once a fortnight.
Once a week in summer.

Once a week on average- inside & out, but carting 2 toddlers around ensures the place is covered in wotsits and crumbs fairly rapidly

Depends on how much it has been driven. I drive a dark blue metalllic car and it shows the dirt really badly so I like it to be clean. I guess I average once a fortnight.
My bikes are spotless.

I've washed mine about three times since Dec 2002 when I bought it. A friend washed it when I lent it to her for a couple of weeks about two and half years ago. My bikes are kept nice and clean.

Once by the girly friend
And once through the car wash.I wash my bike after every muddy ride. Priority's people, priority's.

Couple of times a year if it's lucky. Usualy after long motorway trips in winter just to shift the salt and blackness. Quick whizz over lights n numberplate when needed. Life's too short!

I usually get my wife to wash mine weekly
Posted 2 years ago # -
I just washed the inside of mine. Not bothered with the outside though. I mean, I see the inside when I'm using it don't I?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Had mine since July, not yet. Maybe in the summer...Just gets dirty again after all.
Posted 2 years ago # -
When it gets serviced or when I get my trousers dirty on the sill as I get out. Either way about every 4-5 months
Posted 2 years ago # -
Chucky, thats my wife too!

You can wash cars now?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Went to a carwash as salt was preventing lights from shining. Internally, the mud from the October ride at Swinley is still present.
Posted 2 years ago # -
the outside every 6-7 weeks or so and the inside every other external wash.
Spend a good couple of hours on it when I do inside and out making sure all the leathers clean and the wood's polished.

Wash? Car? Only when its that thick in mud I can't see out of the side windows.

I wouldn't be to happy if my misses was crawling on the bonnet of my car!!!
Wash our cars once a month tops - used to be weekly but kids and squeezing rides in are more important.
Sometimes use the carwash as only £1.50 by us and gets the worst off

Local Polish car wash twice a month.
But - I drive a lot of miles, so keeping the windows and lights clean and the inside decent makes it less stressful.
I like a clean car.
Currently I live in a house with poor facilities to wash it myself. I ain't lazy, and would happily do this each week. It keeps glass and paint free of corrosive dirt, and makes you feel better about how much money you lose on a car just by owning it.

Every 6 months or so, but I don't use it very much
