Carwash Time!

Florida_GATOR · 07-23-2009, 02:58 PM

How many times a week do you wash your Z? I do it about 3-4 times a week but i was curious to see what the rest of the forum members think.

TX_370 · 07-23-2009, 02:59 PM

Twice.... its all the time I have available to

I wash my cars when they are dirty; I've never especially cared about how many times a week that might be.

Yea true, ive got a black Z so im constantly having to wash it

wstar · 07-23-2009, 03:55 PM

I was washing mine every 3-5 days for the first few weeks. Now it's lucky if it gets bathed twice a month. The car is broken in now, it's got scratches in the paint, the front spoiler is about ready to fall off from all the driveway/speedbump abuse, there's black marks on my front bumper from running over an 18-wheeler's discard tire tread on the highway that I couldn't see in time because the ******* in front of my drove right over it too (grrrr!). As long as it doesn't look too dirty from a distance, I don't care anymore

Zof9i6 · 07-23-2009, 04:01 PM

me too, black marks on front bumper from all the driveways. rock chips in bumper and hood and side. washing when i feel like it. lucky i got silver, still looks clean after 3 weeks now. use to have black car, so thats y i didnt want black no more.

Typically I wash it one a week, usually on Friday so it is clean for the weekend.

L3mming01 · 07-23-2009, 05:33 PM

Wash mine about every 4 days or so(if time permits), mostly because i get a lot of bugs and try my best to keep them from getting fried on there.

Mike · 07-23-2009, 05:54 PM

probably once a month, if that often. Plus its an outside car, so its always fairly dirty.

FricFrac · 07-23-2009, 06:12 PM

When it gets dirty or its rained out and the weather is suppose to be nice for a while (to get rid of the water spots). About once a week - maybe more. About five times a month and a wax every four washes or so....

bigaudiofanat · 07-23-2009, 06:19 PM

1-2 times I clean mine in the meantime I use this as needed.

CBRich · 07-23-2009, 07:26 PM

The more you wash the car the more you risk swirl marks. I only wash when necessary.
