    If I drive it on the weekend it's washed Monday night.
    If I get caught in the rain it's washed the next day. I don't like a dirty vehicle.

    If I lived by that rain rule I would have to wash it every day. We had three days last week that it didn’t rain, longest run I can remember in a while. But I will wash once a week even if it gets straight rained on.

    I live on 14 acres down a dirt road. It doesn't matter how often i wash him, Thunder is ALWAYS dirty. It's so bad that I've settled on just going through a car wash once a month instead of hand washing. I can't stand spending 4 hours of my day detailing just to see him dirty 2 hours later. :annoyed:

    I’m a weekly washer but it rains almost every damn day in TN now. I literally got desperate a couple of weeks ago, put on my rain gear and washed it in the rain. I hate a dirty truck.

    Every two weeks when I get home from offshore working. It sits by the Gulf of Mexico so I wash the salt off when I get home.

    Depends on time of year. During winter I wash off mag chloride weekly or sooner. During hunting season not getting washed at all. Pointless. Twice a year I do the full hand wash and wax minimum. I'll spiff up Tunny before hitting ToyTec Customer Appreciation Day. When I lived in western Oregon my 4X4s got the logging road mud pressure washed off underneath after every run. Didn't care about the outside. Rained all the f**king time in winter/spring.

    About twice a month, weather dependant. Unless super dirty. Prefer to wash when it stay clean longer, not before a few rainy days.

    Weekly from when the snow melts to when the snow flies. In winter, I maybe get it through the car wash once every 2 months to get the road crap off. It gets too cold here to wash a vehicle in winter. I'm not a fan of my rubber seals and doors freezing solid...
