        The last time I washed my car was in 1987 , just before the last recession. Conditions then dictated that I get rid of said vehicle and i heven`t been arsed getting one since, As a matter of fact I dont even have a pair of bicycle clips at the moment. Ya can keep yer global warming

              When I had a Mini (BRG) it needed doing every 3-4 days, it was ridiculous. I settled on about once every 6 months!

              My current car (Ford Focus - silver) needs doing about once a month. I do it about once every three

                The F40 Ferrari, and the 360 I get someone to do every week, they hardly ever go out tho. Same goes with the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Veyron. The runabout, the Audi R8 ought to be done every couple of days, especially with all the shit on the road this time of year, but when I wake up from the dream, I wash my Laguna about every 2 months average.

                          i get mine washed every two weeks in the summer and every week in the winter, to get rid of all the salt flicked up from the road..

                          The Bosnians at the garage by mine do a wash & valet for ?8 and its the business

                            I would never wash a car!!!
                            it is just a transport solution like bike!!
                            would you wash your bicycle?
                            By the way I don't have a car!!
