I work from home and park in the garage. No young kids to get the inside dirty. I wash it every couple of months.

My dogs are often in my vehicle, so I also like to vacuum often. I go probably 3-4 times a month. I pay a monthly fee and can go once a day of needed. Some months I go more often. The snowy months are the worst and I love to have a clean car.

Handful of times a year.
I keep the inside of my car clean, and that's most important to me.

When it's dirty, and even then I drive around saying "I really must get the car washed" for too long. It's old. Nobody cares.
I do try to clean the bird droppings off the paintwork though, because the acid damages the paint.

We pay for unlimited on all vehicles, and we go about once a week with each car.

I'm a when it needs it person and DH usually feels the need to clean it before I do. I take it to the full service handwash place while he takes it through the drive-thru and pulls out the shop vac at home to do the interior. When we had babies he would drive me nuts when he cleaned out the car. I always had a stash of magazines and/or a book under the passenger seat for when I had a sleeping baby that would wake if I took them out of the car. This was in the days before a phone would have entertained me through a nap.  |

Before February, I only washed it about 2x a year. Since February, I've been going through the carwash at least once a week.
I got a wild hair to run it through and ever since then, I love the way it looks when she's all clean and shiny, so I've been keeping her that way. I also vacuum it out and clean the windows when it needs it.

I keep my car very clean, inside and out - I'm pretty particular about it. They way I look it, my car is my 2nd biggest investment (after my house) and I want to keep it looking as new as possible. I generally wash and vacuum weekly, but of course it depends on the weather...if it is raining a lot, it may be longer between washings. A few weeks ago, I was having lunch with a friend, and she commented that she probably hadn't washed/vacuumed her car in at least 5 years (or longer) - I was like  |

This time of year, every Friday. Once it starts raining (if it starts raining) then I won't wash it again unless it gets really dirty.

I used to wash my car every week. Then we moved to TN and I just let the rain do it. It rains so often here I really don't need to wash it that often.

My car gets washed probably 2-3 times a month. We take it to a hand car wash. My car is black and shows dirt very quickly. It is beautiful when it is clean but I can't stand it when it is dirty and neither can my husband so he takes is almost every Saturday morning to get it washed.

When it needs it? If never gets that bad but it’s in the garage most of the time. When I parked it at work I used to dust it after work a few times a week. It needs vacuuming more than washing depending on where I go.

I can't stand it much when my car is dirty.. I go about twice a month on average.. sometimes more sometimes less, all depending on weather.
The inside gets a little trashy but it is typically because I leave my cups in the car.. I forget to grab them.. so I might collect three or four before it gets on my nerves.
DH would go everyday if he could. He is a truck driver and washing his truck and trailer can cost over $200 to do!!! (it doesn't come out of his pocket)

OMG just this weekend my neighbor was outside cleaning her car. We share a driveway (we live in a duplex) and we were chatting and she is like "I can't stand it anymore".. I looked over and she had a large trash bag FULL of stuff. I peeked in her car and I still couldn't see the floor. I was like "my husband would have a stroke if our cars got like that" she laughed.. her SO was out there shaking his head and saying "I don't even want to talk about that mess"...

One of the perks of the Toyota Tacoma (any Toyota) we purchased a year ago is free car washes at the dealership for the life of the truck...YAY! So we typically take it by at least 1 a month, sometimes twice. I keep the inside clean as needed because I don't like clutter....I take it to the local full service car wash for a full on detailing inside and out maybe twice a year.
My husbands daily driver is a 2012 Kia Soul...he washes maybe every couple of months and he keeps his car cluttered inside until he can't stand it anymore, then he takes it to get it detailed inside and out at the local carwash but that's maybe twice a year.
I clean out Ford Transit Coachman Beyond class B motorhome after every trip, even if it's just for a day or weekend outing to the forest or the beach or whatever....the outside needs a good washing right now but it's so tall and we have a steep driveway so getting on a ladder is precarious....I'm thinking this weekend I might attempt it with some assistance of my husband.
