Haha, you should've posted this last year when I was as obsessive as Kansei. I choose option #4 (I'm horrible, I know )

I try to do it at least once per week but I won't do it if it's gonna rain within 24 hours, so it didn't get done this past weekend

Well I have it down to around 1/2 hour so I'm almost verging on everyday. Definitely obsessed. I actually washed it went for like 1/2 hour cruise down to the marina, had to drive across a dirty patch that threw some dirt in to the wheelwell and rewashed as soon as I got home, only to watch it rain within an hour.

i wash mine every two weeks, and vaccuum the interior every week in between. down here in australia we currently have water restrictions (been that way for a couple of years now), and we are only allowed to wash our car at a self service pay station.
freakin sucks!

car washes recycle the drainage water though.. hence it never gets the car clean and leaves deposits.

If there were water restrictions like that here, I'd wash my car with bottled water .. just try and stop me!

oh and I'm not obsessive. I didn't wash my car throughout the entire month of July!!! I try and do once a week though, but in the winter it's more like 2-3 times a week to try and prevent further rusting (it doesn't help.. it's getting very bad again)

Here's the deal...I wash my car once a week or so but I have like 4 cars so I guess it's 4 times a week??

p.s. does it count less if you have the mexicans at the quickee washee do it?
