When it gets dirty, but at least once in a 2 week span. Even if it doesn't get dirty in the 2 week span it will be pretty dusty. I have a Denali that stays in the garage most of the time now because of the price of gas and I'll pull that out around the 2 week mark because of the dust......... I guess I'm just ****.

That there, my friends, is well said.....I wash mine once a week, if its really crappy out, or I don't really plan on driving I might wait a little longer...I havent waxed it yet, but planning to do so sometime this week since I will have my rims put on Wednesday.....I use a great touchless car wash in my area, and it breaks my wallet at 17/wk, 
But it pays to look good....with my wax sometime this week, I plan on going crazy as far as detail goes...so be on the lookout for some pics

Whenever it is dirty. I don't drive the car that much and keep it covered in the garage. 5 yrs old and 24,00 miles. Use ps21 shampoo. Smells like apples. Use Klasse All-in-One every 6 months and Klasse Sealant once a month. Awesome shine and water beading. use ps21 wheel cleaner on the rims. Stick with the German products because they are usually environmentally friendly.
