Once or twice a week for me even when it was -20 out. I take it to a coin-op car wash with pressure washers and hot water. Wash 'er and then squeegy the worst of the water off quickly before it freezes. some remains but I got enough wax on 'er beofre it got too cold that it can just be pushed off! My car is nearly always gleaming!

Re: wash the car
took mine to the coin op wash once a week. $.50 for a minute of washing/spraying.....usually costs $3.00 to get a full wash/foam brush/wax/spot free car wash. got up to 70 on the the other day, in nebraska....record high beat old temp record from 1909....thought it was an awesome day to get my car wash in

That hurts you! Iwashed my car twice on sunday! It costs me too much. There is so much salt on the road and the dirt from it that after I wash it a 2 min drive after it's filthy again! I just keep it as clean as I can for conditions sake!

Re: wash the car
ehh i just go to the carwash after a snow fall. We get snow all the time in michgian and with the salt and dirt, its almost impossible to keep your car clean, i just try to get it cleaned once the roads dry and the salt washes away from the streets.
