Default How often do you wash and wax?

I’m pretty bad about keeping my daily driver pick up truck washed and waxed however I do try to keep my weekend “motorized toys” clean and waxed. So I’m wondering... how often do you wash and wax your car? I’ll probably wash every other week and wax a couple times a year.

Personally I wash every day at least twice including showers, I would imagine waxing is painful so I skip that.
Oh, I’m thinking you mean our cars.
I wash the car no more than four times a year and wax once every two or three years.
Water causes rust, waxing causes a bad back.

I wash the vehicles as they need it. So it varies from 1x/wk to maybe 1x/mth. Waxing is a 2x/yr (Spring & Fall) activity on all my vehicles.

I keep the car clean, it's a garage queen and is washed or at least wiped off every time it is driven.

It gets a REAL washing quite often, about every four times it's driven. I hvae owned it three years and two months. Have not waxed it yet, it was detailed well by the previous owner and seldom sees rain or sun.


My Graphite was a daily driver. Got washed at least twice a month. Got clay barred and waxed in March and September, before each Dragon meet.

Really depends on how often i'm driving the car. Earlier this year the car sat for 7+ months so needless to say, it didn't get washed alot. But lately i've been driving the car a bit more. I probably wash it once a month or so, spray wax every other month and full blown detail (wash, wax, buff, polish, re-seal) twice a year.

~ I wax my cars every 60 days or so. I also use a quick detailer after each wash to keep them looking perfect.
