WOW!!! Just saying...

I haven't washed my 01 since early July. But, its garage kept under a cover and has only driven about 150 miles since July. Keep it clean!

Wash twice a week
wax once a month (every two weeks if you live in say fl/cali)
claybar every three months

not often enough. I did just get a nice detail, but they left some of the white residue in a few spots. I used the Turtle Wax Black box on the Jeep and was very pleased with the results. Really liked that it didn't leave a white residue on the trim, obviously. Pretty easy coming off. Enjoyed the product.

I did win Best SRT8 Powered vehicle at the Mopars at the Lake in our local Mopar club's annual meet. Trophy and all so something worked.

I've got a monthly wash club card a Fullers for their ultimate wash and go there
at least 4 times weekly. When the paint washes off I'm gonna wrap in flat black.

I try to at least twice a week. I always check the weather.

Roll Out!!

I wash the 300 once / week and sometimes every other depending on how dirty it gets. It's silver, so a great color for DD. I typically spend my time with washing, spray detail, tires, interior...so it takes me forever. 4 vehichles and I'm the only one washing them is a constant chore. Seems like I'm always washing a car on the weekend...

The Jeep and Viper are parked in the garage and are always clean. They aren't daily driven, so I only wash them once or twice / month (if that).

The DD Acura 3.2 TL hasn't been washed all year and I don't think I've ever waxed it. It's a light blue / grey color and hides dirt well. It's supposed to rain today...so I'll count that as a wash...LOL! I can't stand a dirty vehicle either, but let it slide for the Ac.

Granted your wifes intention was in the right place but car washes will destroy your paint.

I ONR the Jeep about twice a week and apply sealant about once every 8-12 weeks.

I've never taken it though a car wash and beacuse of this my paint is still near perfect and i've never had to polish it.

If my jeep moves it gets washed. I walk to work but it's kept in an underground parking garage (lots of dust). Washed a bare minimum of twice a week. Never waxed it to be perfectly honest. That's not something I have ever done but maybe I should!.

I have a new srt8 in Grey it gets dirty fast. Maybe once a week I take it to the car wash and use colinite sealer wax twice a year on it. The brake dust on the front brakes builds up in one hour, nothing I can do.

wash once a month, spray detail once or twice a month, wax once or twice a year. clay / compound as needed.

this regimen seems to work well: people don't believe me when i tell them the rig is 6 years old.
