    My car doesn't go in the rain, stays covered in the garage and is pretty much only taken to car shows. Each car show it is shined up with detail spray, glass cleaned and kept dusted with a California duster. I would say it is only actually washed with a bucket of soap and water maybe 4 times per year ...

    Mine is covered in welding ash, metal dust from cutting exhaust pipes, and transmission fluid, and has been for over 2 months.

    I don't think I have washed it in the past year...a good thick layer of dirt and grime keeps the humid air from getting to the metal:D

    I usually wash mine once a week and spray the dust off as needed. Its so hard to keep a black car looking good.
