    god DAMN! i have like ocd about having a clean car, so if it get dirty with salt, i usually rinse it with a hose, then use the mr. clean autodry (which works wonders btw). i dont use the autodry with soap tho, thats just unnecessary (for the simple washes at least)

    I wash it once a week year-round; sometimes more so in the winter from salt buildup.

    You gotta hit up a touchless car wash dude.

    I usually keep my car pretty clean. usually hit the car wash every 7 to 10 days but just gave up because it just kept getting dirty.

    i've gone about 3 months without cleaning my car. the paint/body never got too bad minus road tar and miscellaneous mud all up in the side skirts/doors. the wheels have been dirty to the point that they were practically blacked out (brake dust buildup). in the early days when i first got my car, i would just take it to chevron and get the mexicans to wash it for me (haha sounds totally racist. but the truth hurts sometimes). then i realized it would be more rewarding to do it myself. i do a much better job, which is understandable since i didn't expect the chevron to do a thorough job given the amount of cars they had to finish. i do a big clean-up every month or so now regardless of the weather (wash, clay bar, wax, interior).

    my interior usually is dirtier than the outside. i try my best to keep cigarette ash from flying back into the car, but it never works. also, (currently, for example) sometimes there's just a bed of leaves from mine and my passengers' shoes on my mats.

    I've never let the dealer wash it and the car has never seen an automatic car wash. The downside is when I'm at school it never gets washed, but in the end I know there's nothing Phil can't fix!

    Yep, mine's dirty all winter long. I wash it once or twice in the summer, but it's too low for an automatic, and too cold for anything else. I should have taken a picture before the last wash.

    I just don't wash it from Thanksgiving-mid March. Too cold, and I just can't be bothered. I kind of like my car dirty anyway...

    i like to wash my car weekly in the summer because all of the pollen around here loves to coat my car, making it look like crap.

    during the winter though it rains practically everyday so my car is pretty damn dirty right now.. i do clean the interior a lot though, despite the cigarette ashes that get everywhere

    I need to take a picture of my car, in almost 2 years of owning it, I have never seen it as dirty as it is now. I keep thinking of how I can get it cleaned up, but might end up just leaving it until Spring.
