how often and how do you guys wash your car?
I have had my fit for nearly a month now and ready for my first car wash

 

Usually every other weekend but now the rain season is on our door step, not that much..

 

Same here, usually every other week, up to once a month. Just depends how busy I am. Wax....every 6 months.

 

i wash as often as possible and try to wax every month... just to keep it super shiny...

 

do you wash by yourself or drive thru?

 

I hand wash mine every week (except for when I'm gone for weeks at a time on business).

 

it's been 48 days since i've washed mine. it's so dirty but i haven't had time. i'm gonna do it this weekend though.

i'd suggest you wash your car yourself to make sure it gets done right. drive thru washes have dirty things that slap at your car and scratch the paint. everything is better and safer when you do it yourself, and you can wax your car after.

 

Got my Fit in May and I hand wash once a week - the longest was two weeks. I've already waxed it twice. I am hating the cold weather because I can't keep it washed and cleaned like before. I have promised to not take it through the car wash if I can help it. I am hoping to get some warmer weather on Saturday so I can wash it up again.

Cat :X

 

hand wash... if i had time id do it every day...

 

i work at a dealership car wash. i would never run it thru. maybe in the winter. and before i run it, power wash the brushes down. i wash my car once a week, every time spray wax it down. gotta love detail bays at infiniti

 

Yeah i totally dont trust drive thru car washes, especially with the Fits thin paint..

 

I had a bad experience with a local drive-through ''brushless'' car wash. I was rear-ended while in line at the car wash by a man who didn't speak English and had no insurance. And then when I entered the car wash tunnel, I heard a thump sound and discovered upon exiting that the left front fender area of my car had caught on something inside the tunnel and ripped away from the car body about five inches! And of course the car wash had a large sign saying that they were not responsible. BUMMER!

 

hand wash every weekend, wax with spray wax every time after that, and at least once paste wax per month

 

Lovingly hand wash EVERY weekend (so long its not raining), wax once a month, clean engine bay once a month.
I will never ever ever take my car to a machine wash again.
I thoroughly rinse the car off first.
I usually use 2 buckets, one for the soap, and the other one has clean water to rinse the sponge thingy after every section of the car. I also rinse the whole car after washing every section so that the car is always wet and you dont get water marks. Then I dry it with a chamois.

 

I have never put any of my car's through a car wash it ruins the paint work,hand wash only and i am the only one to wash my car my other half is not allowed to do it.

 

once every 7-10days at autowash in the winter given that it's over 25F,
and once a week on my driveway in the warmer months.
