How often do you wash your car?

Recommended Posts

I wash my car on my own every week.  Each wash takes about 45mins, including cleaning the interior, engine bay, and rims, and drying up. I really enjoy the process and keeping it shiny. It's like an indulgence rather than a chore to me.

However, I suspect some of my neighbours think I'm weird for washing so regularly. They'll see me and be like "not again?!" Or when they see me going out I might get a comment "going to wash your car?" even though I'm not.

What is your view...Is once a week really too often?

It is your car, dont bother how other people see you. Once a week is not excessive for a car caring person, especially if your car is new and you like your car to look clean. My old neighbour used to wash his merce everyday, that is too excessive.

Retiree with no grandkids. Wash everyday la. Kill time. At least some sort of physical workout. Else nuah at home? 
btw maids are by right not allowed to wash cars.

What others think of you is none of your business. 

😂

Seriously, it's your car. Your sweat and time. You enjoy the process. As if others care. 

My car wash is up to the weather. Cos I learnt that after each car wash, heaven will decide its not clean enuff and rain. Especially more so the past months. 

Usually max 3 months wait for a car wash. Cos after servicing, my wkshop will do a complimentary car wash and vacuum. 

If you have extra time and energy, I can send my ride to you to prolong your indulgence. You no need to pay me too. 

😂😂😂😂Kidding. Have a good weekend. 

Stay safe 

Cheers

Before marriage I washed my ride every Saturday for two straight hours. Wash, clay bar, wax, interior and lastly tyre shine. 😁

After marriage I wash my wife. ☺️

To TS, you aren't the odd one. Once your times is "up" you would learn how to make good use of your times.

I see. 

My Old car cannot wash too regularly, or else it will get rusty

My car washed by petrol kiosk😅.  My helpers dont have to wash my car even the water hose is just right beside the car 😅

Once in a while when i am in good mood i will wash it myself just to make sure all the parts are still intact, nothing falls off from the car.😃

Whether it is wash one time a week or everyday or once a month, it is your car, your time, your effort....whatever you fancy lor...
