How long do you spend.....

You need some help. I drive it instead of cleaning it. My Fcar usually never gets dirtier then a quick wipe with a duster. My Jag goes to the car wash once a week.

 

Usually about 2 hours a week. Thats in Hong Kong, it gets dirty soon as you drive it.

 

Mine's usually dirty. That's just what happens when it's a daily driver. I usually wash it before a local Ferrari meet, which means every other week or so.

 

I clean mine about every other 2-3 times I drive it - even more often if it looks dirty before then. I polish it every other month. I just finished cleaning it a few minutes ago, and I also polished my fiance's Carrera. I wish I was not so bothered by a dirty car.

 

I washed my truck last October.

 

After every drive. I detail it for at least an hour and a half, sometimes more.

 

About 15 minutes every month or so!

Only Drive 12 cylinders

 

about 25 minutes for just a quick clean. A thorough (inside, outside, etc.) detail I spend a total of about 6-10 hours doing. I do this about once every other month

 

About thirty minutes after every drive. Brake dust on wheels, bugs on front bumper/grill etc.
Gets waxed about every month and a half. I keep it spotless.
It's black.

 

Me too, this include my rims being polished as well.

 

I usually clean it after every drive so it varies but usually an hour or two after every drive. I thought I was bad but a friend of mine is nuts. At least an hour or so every day, minus the winter since it is under a car cover. He just waxes and waxes. Only put 500 miles on his car in almost half a year.

 

I last washed one of my trucks in June of '03

 

i wash my 308 about twice a year, and thats it. and i put 5000 miles on per year. It is due for a cleaning tho, any volunteers....

 

Sophia, the '89 Mondial t coupe, gets cleaned after each drive or cleaned between drives (depends on what time she gets home). She prefers nice sunny days and is much happier in her spot in the shop during the week and during inclement weather, wrapped in her nice soft dust cover. Today she was treated to lots of Quick Detailer, Leather conditioning/cleaner foam and Resolve carpet cleaner, etc. and TLC for several hours. On the other side of the spectrum, Big Red ('97 Chevy 4x4 p/u) hasn't seen the car wash in several months, I think the truck is victory red under the layer of protective dirt.

Well normally i'll start off the summer w/ a 6-8 hour full auto detailing of my car. That's stripping all the old wax off, cleaning everything, reapplying wax, etc. Then, i'll spend at least 1-2 hours once a week just cleaning it, getting any dirt off. And i'll do a more extensive 4 hour detailing maybe once a month. At the end of the summer, before i go back to school I spend 6 hours or so prepping for the harsher weather to come. That's all for a civic, imagine if i had a Ferrari.

 

Send her on a truck my way, I got ya covered.

 

Heck, I'm just happy to keep the swarf from my lathe off my 330's paint!

 

Detailed once a year. Driven a couple of weeks a year and it sits in a warehouse most of the time.

I know, bad Ferrari owner...

 

Why wash it? Won't you just be driving it later?




Seriously, mine gets washed:

1. Before a concorso or non-track car event.
2. When it goes into the dealer, I'll have them wash it and the engine bay.
3. If it gets something on it that might damage the paint (damned birds!). I have 3M film on the nose, so bugs up there don't count.

It does take a couple hours when I wash it... but I don't do it that often.

Am I bad?
