How often do you wash your Benz?
I just can't stand seeing my beauty dirty...especially my Carlsson 2/5's...
I wash it about every 3-4 days.
I hope I'm not too fantical!
How about you guys?

Wash frequency?
Hardly ever, maybe 6 times a year.....and the car is black. I dust and detail spray it at least 3 times a week though. With the lack of rain here it rarely gets dirty enough to wash. I strip the wax, clay it, and put on two coats of Klasse All-In-One, two coats of Klasse Sealant Glaze, and two coats of Blitz once a year. Then a coat of Blitz maybe twice during the year. The detail spray keeps it shining year round without washing.

I wash mine about once a month. Rather than washing regularly, I dust it off daily and apply detailing spray about 3-4 times per week as needed. I also wipe the dust off the rims daily to prevent brake dust build-up and clean the windows. I wash and wax it at least once a month. With the exception of rainy days, it seems to always look good.

i cant stand seeing my white 2002 ML320 dirty either, but its a huge pain in the **** to break out the hose and wash it and hope that water doesnt dry on it so then in turn i end up bringing out my home made bio degradable detailing cleaner that works very good to get the water spots.
oh umm, i will detail it every week or two.

I probably average out to once every couple weeks; but here in NYC it's been raining every other day, so I've held off for a bit. I have to take care of my E320 this week, though--it's killing me to look at her, poor pollen-and-leaf-covered thing that she is...

Once every two to three weeks depending upon rain and/or dust storms. We don't get much of it (rain) out here in the summer time. If it does rain I wash it as soon as the NOAA says I have about three days of no rain. Things are gonna change when I move to San Antonio next week for sure, cause it rains WAY more down there. I wax about twice a year (detail) and quick wax about every two washings.

Sometimes I think that it rains more here than when I was in Tampa FLA.
