When I first got it, it was once or twice a week, but that was a bit excessive. Now a days it's about every 2 weeks because Nissan's paint is weak and the less you can touch it, the better. The only exception is if there is bird crap roasting on it.

Once a week. Once every other week if it looks like it's going to rain in the next days following the wash.

If it stays out of the rain about 7-10 days

If it gets water spots or bird poop on it, I always have this feeling its burning a hole through my paint and wash it, as long as I know its not going to rain the next day.

I got free car washes from one of the places here in SA so I wash it whenever I'm near one even if its only been a day since I last washed it. Taking full advantage of it cause as soon as I lower my car I have to wash it myself.

When I did it myself on my past cars its normally been once a week on Sundays, waxed about every 2-3 months.

As often as necessary to maintin the 'new' car look; which usually equates to once a week.
