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

Davey · 04-13-2012, 07:49 AM

I didn't even wash it before I put it away last year... Haven't washed it yet this year, either.

I'm having too much fun driving it to worry about a little dirt.

once a week

azn370z · 04-14-2012, 05:12 PM

I finally washed it today. So it takes me about 3 hours to wash, dry, clay bar specks of grease off, and spray wax. I also start right before sunrise so I don't have to worry about soap drying. Plus there are no kids outside at that time. How long does it take you guys to wash?

What i do since don't have much time in my hands. I wax one to two panels each day until completed for the whole week. I use a liquid wax quick detailer. Wash the car once a week about an hour.

BigT · 04-14-2012, 08:46 PM

Once a week. Less if its raining, but then i'll do it right afterwards. I dont understand how some of you can go so long between washes. No matter what car i drive, its always going to be clean.

ShockWave · 05-15-2012, 07:24 PM

once every 2 weeks.

zfive · 05-15-2012, 09:17 PM

Mine hasn't been washed since the day I brought it home from the dealers... that was in June '11. Still looks clean other than a smudge here and there. Got my detailing kit ready to go for its first wash in a week or so

6MT · 05-15-2012, 11:27 PM

7 months. (it was parked for the winter)

bdavis89 · 05-16-2012, 09:06 PM

Just hit a month.

That being said, the last time I washed it was for a show, so it included washing, clay bar, polish, and a couple coats of wax. Hopefully I'll be able to wash it again within the next week or two.

The longest for me is about 6 months... thats when its sitting under the car cover in the warehouse waiting for spring

Weekly here.. sometimes even more often, if it rains. Cant stand dust/dirt showing on the black paint!

Drodriguez06 · 05-17-2012, 08:47 AM

Longest would be 3 weeks but that's if it's in the garage, I usally wash the Z once a week and its not my DD
Got to keep it clean lol

Telephone · 05-23-2012, 10:57 PM

I wash it as needed. This varies as I have a beater to drive in the rain.
I hate seeing it dirty or too dusty.

Pauly · 05-24-2012, 09:12 AM

usually very week, but i just moved so its been over three weeks. usually can do a full wash and interior detail in less than 90 minutes.

blackcherry20 · 05-24-2012, 09:50 AM

Washed mine at 6 am Wednesday this week...LOL...dont think I have ever washed a car when it was still dark outside!
