I basically wash my car on an as needed basis (when it's dirty). I wax my car everytime I wash it. I have other cars, so I drive my S2000 on nice days. I garage my car every night with a car cover over it to prevent dust buildup. I usually cover my car when I take it to work (besides dust preventing dust buildup, nobody knows what it is at GM when it's covered and I don't like to draw attention to my Honda because I'm a GM employee).
I've owned my car for almost a month and I washed and waxed it twice.

usually wash every other week... takes about an hour and a half or so (detail wash).
have gone for over a month and the car still did not look bad (it lives under a cover, or in the garage at home when i am not driving it). it gets brushed off everyother day or so. and once in awhile i use spray touch-up detail stuff.
its a black car!!!

A basic wash takes me 30 minutes which includes running a chammy over it..
To do the full monty takes me between 1.5 and 2 hours.
But it's worth every minute.

I wash it in 'as need' base. I take a gallon of water, silicon base soap(?), and a bucket. Then, go to self wash place. Since 10 quaters gives me 4 minutes of water, soaping it and washing takes about 8 min. Then using 'California water balde', wipe all water off and use soft towel to dry it. All takes about 15 min. After that, drive back to home - I call it 'spin dry'. And finally, I wax it which takes about an hour. So I take about 1.5 hrs as my S2000 needs or once a month.
cheers,

Wash with Meguier's Car Shampoo and lambswool mitt, rinse, dry with Absorber, wash windows and wheels, put on layer of Zaino Z-6, vacuum interior, wipe down interior.
Grand total of 1hr 45min every Friday. Add an hour if it is time for a layer of Z-2.
My favorite thing is to wake up on Saturday mornings and pull a beautiful, perfect Spa Yellow S2000 out of the garage into the sun. Can't wait for Friday to do it all again.
