I wash my car every day, Mondays, Wednesdays and  Fridays once a day, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays twice a day, Sunday leave it under the tap for 12 hrs. [:p][laugh][laugh]

Feel like to start a thread on how often do you shower? [laugh][laugh][laugh]

Haha thanks for all the serious and funny responses.

It's always been my habit to wash once a week, regardless of the car I own or how old or young it is.

Agree that we just do what we wanna do...the wash once a year folks may think I'm vain, while the wash every day people probably think what I'm doing isn't even very frequent. 😆

What do you drive as others could be admiring? A neighbour washes his tip top condition RS5 every week at my mscp and everytime I see him from afar, I go like 'nice car bro'.

Turbocharged

when it was new, once a week

a few months later, once a fortnight

after that, once every 3~4 weeks

 

if I wash alone, I need 4 hours, just normal exterior washing + wheels

if wife helping, 2.5 hours

if neighbour come and chit chat, half a day 🥴

4 hrs is detailing liao, not washing.....

Now I leave it to my helper most of the time. Even that it's once every few/several weeks.

no leh, just rinse, shampoo, rinse

but I do it in 3 sections

roof + glass - rinse, shampoo, rinse

mid + front and back - rinse, shampoo, rinse

lower body - rinse, shampoo, rinse

Last time I wash only when I think it is dirty and need a wash......

Especially since covid started (early 2020) , I choose to retire and the car is always in the sheltered car park

No,  I currently drive a very hated car on this forum (and probably in SG too), a low end Opel.

Opel hated? No love/Laughed at for its reliability maybe. 

Hate reserved for PHV, GetGo, taxi, heavy vehicles only. And maybe BMW.
