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

Flushnismo 04-11-2012 06:34 PM

Wow. At least once a week for me. Lol

ZMan8 04-11-2012 06:38 PM

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.

2004YZFR1 04-11-2012 07:00 PM

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.

Rui Z 04-11-2012 07:11 PM

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.

Gauge 04-11-2012 09:54 PM

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

JoeVL 04-11-2012 10:11 PM

Twice a week here... :hello:

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

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.

Pauly 04-13-2012 06:51 AM

once a week

azn370z 04-14-2012 04:12 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?

Zoren 370 04-14-2012 07:39 PM

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 07:46 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 06:24 PM

once every 2 weeks.

zfive 05-15-2012 08:17 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 10:27 PM

7 months. (it was parked for the winter)

bdavis89 05-16-2012 08:06 PM

Just hit a month. :shakes head:

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.

One_Quick_Z 05-17-2012 05:32 AM

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 07:47 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 09:57 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 08:12 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 08:50 AM

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

Love it! :happydance:

red6spd 05-24-2012 09:30 AM

At least once a week some times twice. And the longest it has gone without a wash after getting real dirty is only about a day or two. But I have a garage so its easy to keep it clean.

enkei2k 05-24-2012 11:01 AM

Picked up the car late March. Just washed it this past weekend, so...~2 months.

christian370z 05-24-2012 03:21 PM

Maybe a week at the most if it's not in the garage. If I'm at home and the Z is in the garage, it gets a QD wipedown before and after every drive, QD the wheels and wheel wells, and clean the interior.

Vertigo 05-24-2012 04:38 PM

Once a week club for me as well, unless there's a lot of rain in the forecast

imwazn 06-03-2012 12:28 PM

I don't have a hose at school, so I only get to wash it on breaks :(
