any of my cars - same rules

If it's dirty - it gets washed

In the winter that can be daily!!!

Summer can be monthly!!

Exactly!!! its ridiculous, i had my car cleaned last weekend, and by the end of the day it looked like it hadnt been cleaned inside a month!!! its crazy,

I'm not bothered by the time effort and temperature this time of the year, i just hate the fact that within 24 hours it will look exactly the same as before you started!

In summer: every week at the local drive-thru and then wax and detail at home.
In winter: Probably once a month just before a meet. Missed Prept so washing after a full month tomorrow.
