At least once a week, sometimes twice. Full wax/detail every three months. Like it clean always.

You're taking a lot of paint off if you're claying once a month, once a year is about enough.

I wash mine once/ 6 months, duster, quick detailer and it's all good.

Wash: 4 times a week.
Light detail (detail spray): Once a Week
Semi-Light Detail (light orbital): Every two/three weeks.
Full Detail: Every 3/4 months.

The sun is very harsh out here .. the 'protective layer' of AIO can usually has a shorter lifespan.

I used to wash once a week on Sunday (it was like going to church), wax every two months and heavy detail every 4-6 months. These days though I've been busy at work, and am lucky if I can find the time to wash it once a month even..

Once a week even in winter. When it's cold, I use Optimum No Rinse to get her cleaned up inside the garage.

Oh...I wish!! We have been in severe drought conditions for months. If I washed my car I could go to jail (no joke).
