The last time I washed a car was maybe in 1999. I may have got an Eastern European to wash it in 2000?

I used to be almost anal about cleaning and polishing my GTO but I only washed the Jeep twice, and not at all for the last 18 months. I haven't washed my current car in the 4 months I've owned it.
I have drawn a PH smiley in the dust on the bonnet, though smile

I bought a new car and a new van at roughly the same time, that being the end of May 2013. Hopefully the sellers washed them before advertising them.

Hehe - I feel a bit better now smile

I think I've become accustomed to the case-hardened muck finish - even harder than carnuba wax!

Haven't washed the Clio since I bought it (October), washed the M5 2/3 months ago, being only the second time I've actually washed it myself in 2 years.

Washing cars is overrated.

The dealership wash it whenever it goes in for warranty work which is so often I've only washed it 4 times this year smile

I haven't personally washed it for a good few months now, which is a shame because I enjoy doing it. I have a mobile valeter do inside and out once every two weeks though.

I don't think my next door neighbour has ever washed his, the front wheels are so caked in brake dust it would be impossible to say what colour they were originally.

Mine gets covered in insect vomit at this time of year. So I wash it (or put it through the Polish place) every week or 2.

Two days ago and Friday before that it got valeted and washed.
To the people who don't wash your cars, do you wash the windows at all other than screenwash?

Every 2 wks for me. Would do it more but don't have a tap for a hosepipe so have to use a water tub thing with my pressure washer which is a pain to fill.
