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.

just to wash it...no wax?? what the hell are you doing to it?? the car is tiny...you can just wash it in like 25 minutes....of course the inside, leather, wax..blah blah..now that takes time

 

i have waxed my car once a week for the first three weeks i have had it....just to get a good thick coat of carnuba on it...bugs just wipe off..with a little water..carnuba wax rules for that. I will most likely wash it once ever 1-2weeks or as needed. and wax once a month or so

1.5 - 2 hrs

Usually once a week based on use.

 

One saturday, I spent 7 hours cleaning my Si inside & out....

So far, I haven't taken more than 2 hours to wash the stook...

 

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.

 

what???
why would you spend 7 hours..at all, but why on the si and not the S2000?

 

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