Eh probably not even once a month. I don't really care having a dirty car. To me it's the fun I have in driving it that matters, and having a dirty car does not affect that.

Thank you all for the input. I don't feel that bad anymore lol. I am using my S as my daily and I do commute a lot to work so it gets dusty easily so I try to wash it every time it looks so dusty which sometimes is every two weeks. I also agree with Midnightdennis about your paint getting destroy with the car wash's brush. I was thinking about getting it wash in the car wash but using my own brush/sponge, would that be a good idea?

Touchless car wash or this stuff:
Rinse Free Wash and Shine, The Hose Free Rinseless Car Wash

Just money. I wash it whenever the hell I feel like it.

Thanks Hawkeyegeoff, so you have washed your car using that Rise Free Wash and Shine from the Chemical guys before? I am trying to find an easy/fast method to wash my car

Usually every couple of weeks, unless it looks like rain the next week, then I push it off. When clean I dust it to keep it clean longer.

Funny this was posted, I walked by mine the other day and realized its been over a year since it was washed. I do spray it with some stuff from mothers every once in a while, but I think i drove it about 1000 miles this year so it didn't have much a of a chance to get dirty

About once or twice per month. I'm afraid to wipe mine down once it gets too dusty for fear of scratching it. I live in a messy area, dirt roads everywhere. I don't drive the s on them of course but they leave debris on the road they lead up to. Actually, I probably need a Jeep...lol.

You never get any bugs on the windshield or bumper that need to be washed off? Never wash the wheel wells or the wheels or the underside of the car?
