    I try for once a week. Sometimes I go 2 weeks. Living in an apartment has some drawbacks. We have a wash area but the water has been off lately so I gotta rely on friends with houses. Most recently they tore up the road leading to my complex so washing was useless as I had to drive through lots of dirt. Also my car tends to take priority when it comes to washing and detailing.

    I was it about every other week. I frequently go a month or more at a time, though. The wifey likes her new car to stay clean, so I'll probably be washing mine more frequently as a result.

    I started using Turtle Wax Ice last month. The stuff works great. It has been raining on and off for a week. I just went outside to wash my Taco and it looks clean, I don't have to. The only stuff that seems to stick to it is bird s*it. Here is a pic I just took.

    I live on a dirt road. When it doesn't rain for a while, It gets dusty. When it does rain, it gets muddy. So I try to wash it once a week

    You'll see, YOU'LL ALL SEE!!!
    I'll come back sad as shit cause Mazda will have brown nosed their way into making me lose somehow.
    I'm gonna try my best at pushing for at least a nice chunk of money so I can sell the thing but they'll probably bribe the arbitrator to making me lose.
