How often should I wash my car?

[Fiatowner3]

Haven’t washed my car in 2 months, it’s been raining a lot, how often should I clean my car?

[Biker's Nemesis]

I know someone who made a point of washing his car when it rained at weekends

[Pica-Pica]

keep windows, lights, mirrors and number plates clean, though.

Once every 12.6 days FFS

I honestly can't remember the last time I washed a car.

How often do you have a shower? How often do you clean your clothes?

The answer is its up to you........

Like anything though, if you don't look after it, it'll soon deteriorate!

Should my car be ok not being washed for 2 months ?

There is a point of view that says don't wash it during the winter months due to grit. This directly contradicts the wash all the salt off your car asap

I was my daily car every two weeks. In the winter it is better to get the road salt off the car as often as possible.

In reality though, it makes no difference just depends on how often you want it looking clean and shiny.

Before and after driving, some people wash it during, but that's a bit of a faff IMO

Yipper you're back!

My daily car gets washed every weekend. My summer toy gets a quick wash after every use and a proper detail a couple of times a year.

If you leave it longer between washes then dirt willl help hide the stone chips.

Once or twice a month. My cars are well protected with polish and wax and one has ceramic coating.

Wax once every 2-3 months.

If this car is the fiat 500 you don't use , has dents on the boot etc.

Wash it every day to keep it clean if you want to

Whilst the car doesn't get washed regularly, I always wash bird poo off ASAP.

In the past few years, I have tended to just use the car wash when I have filled up with petrol as its convenient, so about once a month.
