I've washed my car twice in the 3 months I've owned it, but trust me when I say it is ALWAYS spotless, except for bugs on the bumper from hwy 9 and skyline blvd. I usually use the Zaino mist spray every few days and the california duster daily. It's only seen rain once, but I dried it right after I pulled back into the garage.

No point in washing if it never gets dirty.

As long as it takes to keep her looking great. I use Meguiar's Final Inspection for when it gets dusty. I also try to drive my other vehicle whenever I know rain is heading this way.

Wash once a week and wax once a month depending how nice (horrible) Michigan weather is.

California duster it when I can. Wash it when it's too dirty to dust (and when I feel up to it). Water Blade it after washing it. 20 minutes total. The rest can drip dry or air dry. I plan to polish it twice a year - once at start of Winter, again at start of Spring. It exists for me, I don't exist for it.

I try and wash 2 times a week. It takes usually 1-3 hours to wash.
