I try to wash her once a week, wax every 3 months, clay bar every 6 months, compound+polish every year(depending on the condition).

I clean my Z whenever it needs it. I usually use Adam's Waterless Wash or ONR. It usually gets cleaned twice a week.

Try to wash every three or four weeks and wax in the spring and late fall.

Full interior detail monthly
Claybar quarterly

Wow vash that is amazing for 5 years! Mines only 3 and doesn't even look close to that!

I wash every week but my garage and the roads here in norcal are pretty dusty. Dust is my only real problem and I will buy a car cover soon. Other than that I try to wash weekly and I use just plain old turtle wax. I will claybar/polish soon though I have a couple of small scratches on the hood.

Noob question but do any of you use any kind of soap to wash the car? To date I haven't only because I am afraid it will do something to the paint that I can't see with the naked eye or something.

mine gets washed almost weekly if it isn't raining. i quickly clean the inside and out including the inside of the rims. I seal the car almost monthly. It stays in pretty good shape. The white helps to make it not look too dirty

Bad.



Rain water does not make a car clean, please. So you'll spend the $ to buy a $30k car, but not spend the 75 cents (amortized cost for soap and water) and 30 minutes to wash your car? The dealer washes around here are a joke.

I have been using Poorboy's World Super Slick & Suds from Detailed Image. I've been using this for the past couple of years and try to wash my car weekly.

I wash it before I drive it, spray wax if I'm in a rush or hand wax if I have time.
