How many times do you wash your car on average???

I had the urge to wash my car today not that it was really that dirty but it was nice out and the rims werent gleaamin as much as i wanted them to lol so i washed it. Anyways this thread is just for fun on average how many times do you guys wash your cars a month??? Everyone thinks i'm crazy but i try to wash it atleast once a week dirty or not if the weather permits. I sometimes wash it twice a week. I also try to wax it every month. Am i that much of a nut? my rents think i'm crazy

What about you guys???

I am not supposed to go anywhere near dirt, vaccuum the carpet, do gardening, clean the fish tank or even pick up trash bag... but that still doesn't stop me from cleaning the car once a week

Wash twice a month unless an event pops up. Clean the interior once a season. Black interior and all weather floor mats FTW!

I usually wash it every other week, but if I'm going to be waxing it soon, I'll wash it three times in the same week, right before washing.

Try to wax once every season, but haven't been keeping up on the waxing part.

I have the cleanest cars on the block.

Damn, I'm lucky to wash mine once a month these days. I used to wash it once a week, but maybe I've fallen out of love?

I too used to wash it once a week. Nowadays, ehh, I haven't washed it since my break up...

HOWEVER, my 05 grill and clear fogs just came in this a.m.

I do want to do some type of wet vacum, but I haven't a clue of where to start.

usually, once every two weeks, but if it gets pretty dirty prior to that, then I'll obviously wash it.

I usually wash it once a week. Though the weather here in the NW, makes that difficult at times, that is why I use a quick detailer in between washes sometimes.
