i try to wash my cars once a week, even in winter. But i get to cheat..my dads shop is heated and has a water hose and drain in the floor, so its not so bad. I especially like to clean them if theres been salt laid down recently for snow.

take it to the "pay n' spray" once a week, then once a month get an underbody spray at a local drive through wash.

I try to do once a week, but it's probably once every two weeks most of the time ... depends how busy I am. I never let the car turn white from the salt if I can help it though.

My rescue squad has radiant heat floors in the ambulance bays, so I usually just pull my car in there, and wash as normal, and let it dry w/o worrying about stuff freezing. I only can do this when I'm not at school though, which isn't too often.

I take advantage of Florida's dry winters to wash my car. You simply can't put all that work in during the summer (without risking dehydration, or fainting) only to have the fruits of your labour rot in the afternoon, when your daily rain comes to mess everything up. Believe me! Cars can end up really dirty!
Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.

When I lived in a cold climate, I washed my car once a week most of the time, even when it was snowing or raining.
