About once per week - I can't stand thinking about what all of that winter grime is doing to the paint and metal. Plus with all this talk of rust, and the little pinpoint flakes of rust colored debris I am finding on the surface, I am a little more cautious that normal. ------------------ Mine: 2001 Solar Yellow XE w/ lots of toys.

At least once a week. Just did it Saturday then the rains came. But then again what do you expect.

With the warmer weather, usually weekly or biweekly. If nothing else, I'll usually hose it off under pressure thouroughly, just to get the dust and funk off of it.
When I wash it, it's nearly an all-day affair. Wash, dry, wax, detail. Just last weekend (not this past one) I spent a good six to seven hours on the thing... But then, I washed the undercarriage off, cleaned all the door jambs, cleaned crap out of the rubber gaskets, washed the rubber mats, etc.

Just got finished washing my baby. I wash mine bi-weekly weather permitting. Time for a polish. Can't stand to see her dirty.

BP - I'm glad I'm not the only one that anal about washing my X. When I wash mine (bi-weekly usually), I'll usually take the entire afternoon. It's not worth my time to just wash and dry; I like to get all of the nicks and crannies ------------------ Hank 2000 Yellow SE 4x4 5 Spd.

Hank, I just wish it would last a little longer than it does, being so clean...
I did get complimented on the paint after a productive afternoon though, so that was kinda cool.
The thing practically glows all it's own when you detail it like this. It sure looks purdy, but I think it needs a mud facial...

Did it by hand friday for the first time since mid-october I think. It's been through touchless washes every week or 2 all winter though.

after wheeling in PA a few weeks ago, i had to get that nice little gash taken care of, so i paid some jabroni $100 to totally detail inside and out! then it rained that night...i usually wash it every friday night, unless there's rain in the forecast. when it gets warm out, i'll try to do it every other sunday at home...
we have a water softener, so the water's nice and nice...

you mean like with actual soap and water or does just spraying off the mud/dirt from the trails count? a true cleaning with soap, water and a sponge...maybe october. perhaps november. not sure. i need to get some wax on her, cause she is starting to get more backwoods custom pinstripping on her, and a coating of wax every few months goes a long way to helping. but i almost have too much already to really care. I hate to say it but i have already been thinking what color i am going to paint her next year when it gets really bad. so a real washing is coming up next weekend, unless i end up out of the trails. *cough* gothamist *cough* ------------------ Synchro (aka Kirk) synchro@xterraoffroad.com 2000 Xterra SE, Alpine Green, 4x4, ARB, 32" BFG MTs

I wash it once a week if I notice salt on the sheet metal. I spend a great deal of time on the underbody. I vacuum, dust off and and clean the windows (inside) about once a month. I also go around the truck looking for chips which I fix with the touch up about once a month.
