I never wash mine, sometimes ill spray off the frame to try and keep it from rusting. And if the windows or lights get muddy i'll clean them off.

Roughly... Wash - Every 2 weeks Wax - Every couple months I'm kinda forced into it. If I go too long without getting it washed/waxed it starts to look neglected.

Um, last time was the summer of '03.
I was really planning to wash it again last weekend. Really. But it was snowing.

I haven't in about 6 months. After all the winter driving I've been doing lately my black Xterra is more of a cinder-red/black combination color. Attractive, but I have to be very careful not to lean into the door openings or rear bumper.

Wash mine once or twice a year weather it needs it or not, unless I drive on salted roads (very seldom) then I wash it as soon as weather permits. Wax it once a year. I leave it out of the garage when it rains, it's the best way to get "fallout" from the stacks at work off.

I try to wash my X thoroughly inside and out after every Offroad Excursion...It tends to get mud, pebbles and twigs at every space it would allow underneith...having the Granite color X...Dirt does not show up at all...so, I save some time and money washing my X regularly...

Every two weeks in the summer, I'll do it in the winter if its warm enough that I don't freeze myself in or out of it. I always wax where the sides meet the bottom pannels and the edges of the doors to prevent rust. If there is time I wax the whole thing. No real mud to show off most of the time just slimey road crap which dries on as a crusty looking light brown tinge on the rear hatch.

After not washing it since early autumn, I took it one of those gas station car washes, where the wash arm goes around the vehicle. There was a TON of salt on the front and back. $5.00 and it didn't do that great of a job on the hatch - it's still covered with dirt.

Waxed; Never! Wash; Once a month or so. Huh, no wonder it is rusting.

Call me anal but after two of my past jobs being in the detailing business its kind of in my blood. I can't stand for the X to be dirty, don't get me wrong I like to get mud and dirt on it whenever I can but I don't like it on there very much. Also, since my wife is a Registered Nurse and is my sugar momma all I have to do is go to college so I get bored alot.

Black looks very classy when its clean so I do mine every week during the summer. During the winter when its cold I will do it every chance I get. I wax it every few months. Also I will clean the interior every week no matter what. I don't mind when the exterior is dirty (though I rather have it clean), but it bothers me to no end when the interior is dirty. Clean and shiny super black X is my favorite.

Um... I think I washed it about three months ago, and the last time it got washed before that was three months before. And it got waxed, but my boyfriend at the time did it for me. Otherwise, it would never see soap.

My X's exacting care regimen requires that 1. The vehical be thoroughly rinsed with a specially selected combination of the finest migratory guano, imported Ohio River Valley acid rain, and a marinade of colorful tannic acid laden foliage. 2. Perfectly ripened acorns, lovingly dropped from magnificent old growth oaks, are used to gently dislodge the mounds of fine migratory guano and colorful tannic acid laden foliage not lifted by the pitter patter of specially prepared and imported Ohio River Valley acid rain. 3. Once lovingly pampered by the above beauty treatment, the clay and rich top soil, combined with the finest acidic Pine Barens detritus slurry, is provided for repeated luxurious dipping until the X is fully relaxed and ready for its coniferous rub down. 4. After a vigorous rub down with a variety of exclusive indigenous conifer branches that work the luxurious mixture of lovingly applied beauty treatments deep into the iron underlying the surface paint of the X's pampered skin, the X is allowed to luxuriate in a shower of ultraviolet radiation provided by a nearby star...this cosmic cosmetic treatment gently bakes the applied beauty treatment deep into the pores of the X. 5. This profoundly pampered X is then allowed to rest and relax until the next treatment regimen is commenced.

Maybe once every three or four month, or until I can't stand the look anymore.

I wash mine about every 2 weeks. I live 200 yards from a Buggy Bath so just take it there and use the Jet Wash, then bring it home to shammy it off in the Winter. In the Summer it's to damn hot to wash the thing.

Myself I washed it once since I got it, which was about 5 months ago. Otherwise it gets washed when I change my oil at the dealer. $15 and a car wash is not too bad.
