Nissan 370Z Forum  

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

Default 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?

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.

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.

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.
