Default WASH YOUR Z's PLEASE!!!!

i saw 2 other 350Z's in the parking lot today both looked as if they had just gotten a mudd bath. the yellow 1 had the most dirt on it and the black one wasn't too far behind. how regular does everybody here wash thier Z's?? i am at about 2-3 times a week in the summer time and 1 when its not as nice out.

ps how much change can you fit in the center console??(all quarters) i filled mine up the other day and i put ONLY quarters in there now. i have like $180+ with tons of room still.

the rule is to wash it everytime it's been rained on or snowed on before pulling inside the garage. Otherwise wash it everytime i see a layer of dust on the hood...no exceptions...that's if you still love your Z.

What do you need quarters for?

I wash my car once a year whether it needs it or not.

I wash my Z once every couple of months. I burnt myself out on cleaning it form when I first got it. It's my DD so it's gotten to that point like it's just another car. I washed it once this winter, but that was after going 4 months - it definately looked like it was a new car

When I first got my Super Black Z a couple of years ago, I washed it like every other Day. Now... It's a pain in the *** and I wash it every few weeks. It looks great after a wash and pretty damn good when dirty too. I get it detailed once a year and it comes out like new except for some rock chips and some key marks, etc. My apartment complex has no hose hookups so I am forced to take it to a hand wash @ 25 bucks a pop.
