I wash mine probably once a week. and probably wax and fully detail it every two or 3 weeks. (doesnt see bad weather hardly ever) The only time I usually clean the inside is the dirt on the floor mats I get sometime and the dust it collects on the dash . Other than that it sits in the garage with a cover over it until the weather is beautiful out for a nice drive. Even then it dont get driven sometimes because thats the one chance I get to take my bike for a rid

 

I try to wash mine at least every other week and that usually entails doing at least a partial detail inside and out. I give the interior full attention about every other wash, although I try to keep the seats cleaned/conditioned more frequently. I will do an all out wash, wax and detail maybe two or three times a year, first one being in the spring when the car comes out of storage. After that I wax as I feel necessary. Obviously I wash and detail the Monte inside and out before all shows.

 

Car never sees rain, and only gets light weekend duty, so usually only have to do touch-ups from bugs and general road crap. But I'll give her a good cleaning about once a month. Full detail whenever I go to large shows.

 

Same here, the midwest weather is brutal. I'm getting it repainted as soon as I have the cash.

 

I do have a question for you guys. Now that pollen season is coming, does anyone know of any quick and easy ways to clean that off. It is crazy at how fast this stuff falls down here in NC. I can clean it and then maybe 2 hours later it will look like crap again. I just recently wasn't able to do any kind of wiping down because of work and all that stuff. and my car went from red to yellow haha. It was bad, so today it got a good little wash. But it almost seems like when the pollen falls it really sticks, so you can't go through with a duster and just dust it off, or could that just mean my car is ready for a good coat of wax? I hate pollen season, last year I had my 96' thunderbird around this time and I pretty much just gave up for about a month until we got a couple good rain storms that took care of the pollen problem. I refuse to let that happen with my monte, it must look good 100% of the time haha. So yea if you guys know of any tricks or anything to help clean off pollen pretty easy I would much appreciate it.

 

My car once a week. My leased car once a month...

 

I try to do a laser wash at the least once a week, especially in the winter. In the summer, I try to hand wash once every one to two weeks.

 

Have you ever used a Clay Bar?

 

I'm sorry to bring sad news, but washing your car can really cause damage to the paint. The once and a while is fine. The best and recommend was to wash your car is using a microfiber towel, quick detailer, and quick wax.

I have yet to really wash my car. I have ran it threw a auto was for the underbody.


Wash and wax

 

you have a white car so stuff doesn't show up as easy. There comes a point when quick detail and a microfiber will do damage. If you really wash your mitt out when washing your car you wont damage anything. Buffed mine two years ago and wash/wax it once a week and still looks just as good.
