Once a week for the RX330 and the Camry (poor Camry needs more attention). Once/2 weeks for the Acura TL and the CRV. OR when it rains...I will be busy.

i wash my car almost every other day...by myself that is..the reason being to much dam brake dust on the front wheels after driving it for a couple of days. So instead of just washing or cleaning the front wheels, I wash the entire car.

My Lexus is washed as needed. Usually at least once a week, but sometimes twice a week. Never more than two to three weeks unless of course it's in storage (as it is currently).

With my Camry... I wash it maybe every two to three weeks. I just don't care, because I have a job that involves me driving like 100 miles a day, so no matter how much I wash it, it's always gonna end up dirty one way or another.

daily if required!

I can give my IS350 a decent wash in about 15mins if need be -- I HATE driving a dirty car!

When I feel like working up a sweat, I wash my SC. It is almost my only source of exercise..... But it does boost my mood I just feel better driving a sparkling car!

My car is black, so it will look dirty even after a few days.

it's starting to snow here so probably on a weekly basis. i don't care too much about how dirty it looks, but worried about corrosion.
