what's the longest you've gone without washing your z?

azn370z · 04-11-2012, 06:29 PM

For 2 years I washed my z every 4 weeks even if it meant rain the next day. But now 2 months has become 3 months and I won't wash it unless I know it won't rain the next day. I have gone as long as 6 months when I had my 350z. But car soap and detail spray wouldn't get the streaks of dirt off, only turtle wax. So I'm thinking 3 months is long enough.

I drive my z 7 days a week, anyone else wash less frequently than me?

Wow. At least once a week for me. Lol

I washed it last time Nov. 1 hehe

but that's because it sat in storage until 3 weeks ago. Due for first wash this weekend and then I will wash every few weeks.

Usually once a week for me with some light dusting and or detailing during the week. I don't like to see any dust on my car.

I used to wash once a month, but now I'm lazy. I don't remember the last time I washed the car. Maybe December.

dennis26 · 04-11-2012, 07:43 PM

Normal is once a week. Longest I have gone is 3 weeks.

have not owned it long but once a week for me, unless it's raining, then I'll wait till next weekend.

Twice a week here...

98intrigue · 04-11-2012, 10:13 PM

I used to wash it once a week or once every other week. I think I've washed it 3-5 times since October...1 time being a few hours ago.

LakeShow · 04-12-2012, 11:46 PM

Has been a month haha. Been neglecting it. It rains like every other day and also rains when rain isn't even in the forecast.

Apoc370z · 04-13-2012, 02:00 AM

every week, i cant stand not washing it for more than 2 weeks

djpathfinder · 04-13-2012, 03:19 AM

A good wash once a week or once every 2 weeks. It get so dusty that I do a quick rinse every 2 or 3 days though.

xdeslitx · 04-13-2012, 03:41 AM
