Once every few months here. €10 inside/out at the local car wash.
Once every 4-6 months get it done at one of them drive through hand wash things for £5
Whenever the missus has a go at me to get it washed!!
havent washed my van in about 2 years.. and the car i take to the local polish car wash inside and out for £10 hoovered and windows !!!
i should really post pics of my van. not jokeing its fucking stinking and the smell is unbeleivable!
It was more a rhetorical question about how often you wash the car! More so to point out this guy who washes so many times a week.
I was working on a block of flats and opposite was a young lad who had a P-reg BMW 3-series. Now he wouldn't wash it everyday, but at lunchtime when he came home and at the end of the day, he would spend 20-30 minutes looking around and polishing or waxing up. I thought that was OCD, but this guy takes it to a next level.
Only only clean my motor when it's dirty!
I reckon, that bloke with the VXR, if a bird shit on his car, he'd have a heart attack. I know it's 'gone for correction', but seriously, he's got a real bad dose of OCD!
The best bit I read was 'Using our 12MP digital camera photo's on the MAC, once we zoomed right in and found a 'minute paint blob' from the spray gun, I would have rejected the car.
OK, if with the naked eye, you see a fault. Reject, under a microscope? FFS! Sort it out!
Not as much as I want at the moment, but hopefully I'll be doing it enough over winter to prevent the shit on the roads from doing the nasty to the car.
Every week, sat am before I start work.
the vxr marc thread isnt that OCD imo, at least every week with full snow foam, 2BM method etc, waxed monthly , clayed quartely etc etc
I just hope you don't search detailing world for VXRmarcs other posts you will find his arden blue VXR astra and his Dyson animal detail yes he detailed his hoover.
Me in good weather every week it gets a wash and he wasnt useing mineral water he was useing Reverse osmosis filtered water it takes all the minerals out that would normally be leftbehind on the car when it dries. I also have a water filter to rinse my car but I use deionised water I dont get water spots when it dries in the sun which is a pain on a black car as it usually dries before you get to wipe over with the drying towel.
I dont go in to the detail that mark went in to on his astra detail every week but once a year it is done to similar standards and then maybe every 3 months in between it gets a good going over. I do similar to my Dad's and sisters cars I have also done a few other cars as well for freinds.
Cant believe bb leo you dirty fecker ,I always clean my van at least twice a month so i dont look like a gypo in london for courier work ,bp do a buy two car washes get one free at any price ,i always give the old girl a full gold wash at least once a month
saying that, that's about how many times i shower
Don't get df stinker for nothing
I STINK GET OVER IT !
Every week.
I get my car washed probs once every 2-3 months. Just had a service done and was gonna get it done when I picked it up but they did it for me. Result, saved £5!
I used to courier in London, best job I ever had, when the money was good. I used to rinse it as the company I worked for, everyone hated going into London. I loved it, easy money. Got out a couple of years ago, thinking of doing a bit of courier work part time but I hear the rates are shit.
I thought about doing The Knowledge numerous times but i'm a lazy fecker so never got round to it.

My van gets washed for free - every time it rains.
i wash mine every 2 or 3 days, thats because its a public service vehicle
