I dunno, I'll wash it when it gets dirty...it could be every week, everyother two weeks, or every month. It just depends on when I have time and get sick of looking at the dirt.

Calesta · 09-30-2003, 11:44 PM

Last choice for me... almost never.

civicious · 09-30-2003, 11:47 PM

i generally wash it on friday afternoons. of course, i haven't driven my civic since aug. 4, so it's been a while since it's been washed....

i wash it every week, wax it about every 3 to 4 weeks, and wipe off all the dust every morning while i let it warm up. Bling Bling Nucka! outside may not look all too good, but at least its clean and shinny as fuck

BodyDroppedNikes · 09-30-2003, 11:59 PM

I probably would have if I knew what to do with it back in the 9th grade.

hcivic.com · 10-01-2003, 12:06 AM

i do it every day

B16 · 10-01-2003, 12:07 AM

my parking spot is under a tree, so i get a lot of bird shit on my car, so once a week. my old coupe when it was primer, i washed it once

highperboi · 10-01-2003, 12:08 AM

does waxing your car to much rub out the clear coat?

preluderjs · 10-01-2003, 12:13 AM

Almost never. I had my car for almost three months before I washed it for the first time. Got so bad I had friends offering to do it for me at their house.

(black cars suck)

hcivic.com · 10-01-2003, 12:18 AM

i have to wash it every day the use liek an inch of salt on the roads every day

Celerity · 10-01-2003, 12:18 AM

oh worse yet, since my mother moved to the Beach and borrows my Civic it has to be washed and rust treated every week.

**sportlinecrx** · 10-01-2003, 04:31 AM

i wash my rex every two weeks, detail my engine every two months, wax it about every 3 months and polish it about twice a year. it still has the original paint and it still looks new.

Frankie P. · 10-01-2003, 10:35 AM

Wash about every week, wax about once a month, steam cleaned the engine once, about 2-3 weeks ago. This weekend I am going to detail it, carpet steam cleaned etc. Drive from California took kind of a toll on the paint, need to put a coat of wax on it. I really need a new paint job, black sucks, and the fender and hood have chips and cracks all over. It looks like someone put white paint spots all over it.

Bob Vila · 10-01-2003, 10:41 AM

I used to wash my Si on a bi weekly basis. The paint was mint

However, I have only washed the jeep since owning it (10mo. now) a total of two times...one time I didnt even wash it...the body shop guy did.

haha

Heep's are meant to be dirty.

98integrals · 10-01-2003, 11:15 AM

i dont think ive washed my car since like uhh...

May or June?

I figure it rains enuf here it gets all the importnant dirt off. thats anoyther plus to having a white car, even if it is actually grey it still looks clean

Bob Vila · 10-01-2003, 11:19 AM

Oh yeah...I also used to wash Brians Del slo, cuz he never washed it

haha

rsaeini · 10-01-2003, 12:24 PM

it already has a jacked up paint job thanks to my mom a few years ago. she was spray painting some shit gold on the our balcony that overlooked the drive-way. well, my car was parked right underneath and she got gold paint all over my car. i was on out of town at the time and when i got back i was pissed as hell, i spent a few hours with paint thinner trying to get that shit off of the windows but it had already stuck to the paint pretty well.
i want my paint to really go to hell so I have an excuse to have it repainted, that's why i rarely wash it.

Havok · 10-01-2003, 01:09 PM
