How often do you wash your car?

So how often do you wash your car? and how often do you wax/buff it?

for me lately I usually wash my car once a month, with some spray wax and I can't remember the last time I hand waxed or buffed it

in the summer, i wash about once a week. winter, not often, about once a month, and thats a touchless auto wash. i plan to fully detail this summer, including removing the seats and getting all up in the engine bay

that much washing and waxing isnt that good for your car, although i know the compulsion to rewash the whole car if theres a spec of dirt

About once a week or more. The black CRX looks good only for 5 minutes, and thats right after you wash.

Well that and free 10$ auto touch free carwashes rule!

they actually do a great job if your car isnt in such bad shape to begin with. i use it cause it cleans the undercarriage which gets all slaty in teh winter..

I wash the REX after every 3 days of driving. The NSX got washed every day after driving, but she was black and EVERYTHING showed. Rio is a bit more forgiving. My biggest problem on both cars are the track pads, the wheels don't stay clean because of them and the brake dust can etch the wheels.
