only wash when needed. between washes try a good detailer's mist like from meguires. use good quality was as well. these washes have natural paint conditioners. also when you do wash make sure to wash with the grain of the paint. when the paint is sprayed on it is applied from side to side and not up and down. so when washing use a side to side motion. never go in a circular motion. this can lead to swirl marks in the paint. when drying a car off the same applies with the side to side motion. use only a 100% cotton towel or a leather shami which i prefer. always try to wash in and dry in the shade if possible.


Meguire's has a nice web site with a car care section you should check out.
There are a host of variables here, but I suppose the best answer is: when it gets dirty.





When I was in college in Ohio, I bought a series of used cars and washed each one of them only once: the day I bought them. I didn't want to ride around in the other person's dirt so I cleaned them thoroughly inside and out, including removing the seats. They generally lasted me eighteen months before they needed repairs that would have cost more than the $200 I paid for the cars, at which time I sold them for parts ~ often recovering my $200.





Once every three or four months is okay if you live in an area like Dallas that gets 270 days of sunshine a year. You'll probably need to do it more often, unless you have a car with washable paint.





Certain paint colors, like the Ford silver that was used on Town Cars and Jaguars, don't seem to bond well with the Clearcoat. So the clearcoat cracks and peels off more quickly on these colors than it does on other colors of the same model. And the paint soon follows, leaving the black primer showing through like it had been sandblasted. So these cars should be hand washed only, and far less often than cars of other colors.





Rust is more a function of pollutants than water. Dirt on the car allows the moisture to cling longer, and salt and other corrosives begin to penetrate the finish, causing air to get to the metal, resulting in rust.





If you drive near a beach or live in an area where they sand or salt the roads in the wintertime, you'll need to wash the car far more often than if you live in a big city and drive exclusively on concrete. There is a town in Oklahoma that has a paper mill which throws out terrible emissions all the time, and their solution was to build a carwash and give everybody a free wash once a week. It was cheaper than putting filters on the smokestacks.





Barring any unusual circumstances of environment, my personal opinion is that once a week is more than you need. I'd say once a month. That's a good interval for checking the oil, adding washer fluid, making sure the tires are properly inflated ~ all the other things you do to keep your car in good operating condition. Unless it is showing dirt sooner, might as well add the car wash to the list.





The idea of sun drying may seem ';green'; because you don't use electricity in the dryers at a drive thru carwash but remember that standing water is the villain here. And it affects the chrome parts much more quickly than the paint. If you are not going to wax the car, you should at least hand dry the chrome with a soft, lint free cloth like an old tee shirt. My choice is to run a short errand immediately after hand washing my van and letting the air blowing over it act as the dryer. To be truly ';green';, though, don't just invent a beer run. It should be an errand you needed to do anyway.





Finally, you say nothing about wax. A good wax acts as another layer between your car and the pollution and dirt that are its enemies, so don't skimp on the wax.
when your car looks like it needs it then wash it. if you live in a cold state then they probably put salt down on the roads for snow, this will create rust faster. also after washing your car with soap, the wax will come off, so wax it up after washing because wax protects the car from rusting.
Wash it whenever it is visibly dirty. I typically wash my vehicles every 2-3 weeks (whether they look really dirty or not). Washing by hand with an actual car wash is best. Hand dry with 100% white cotton towels. Wax it at least twice a year, or if you're into other products, I have recently been turned onto Zaino (it's not a wax). Also, to prevent rust on the underside of your car, I would use a Rustoleum paint or rubberized undercoating.
You should wash your car as often as it needs to be washed.


That sounds a little simplistic, but, if it's dirty, then it should be washed. Good quality car wash soaps are designed to NOT strip waxes and sealants. Do not use a Dawn dishwashing soap to wash your car. Dawn's own website says they do not recommend using their product to wash your car.


The only way for your car to rust from washing, is if it has an ';open sore';, a scratch or such, in the paint. If the paint and clearcoat are still in good shape, your car will not rust from washing. If it would do that, then it would rust from being rained on.


Always wash your car in the shade and dry it in the shade.


Do not use cotton towels to dry the car. Microfiber towels are the way to go. Cotton towels can cause swirls in the clear coat.


Also, when you wash, wash from the top down. This way all the dirt is moving off the car as you wash it.


After you have washed it, use a good carnauba wax or a paint sealant to protect the finish. Carnaubas last around 4-6 weeks, while sealants last 3-6 months.


I like this web site, www.ProperAutoCare.com, for my car care products. Lots of information there, too.
washing doesnt do any of that
