    Washed with Soapy water once a week and wiped down or sprayed off at least every other day probably more, but I drive mine daily to work 32 miles one way.

    Never now...for any of my cars...I live on a gravel/dirt road, the only time I ever wash any of them is when the dust/dirt cakes on so badly on the back window I cant see out of it. :rofl2:

    Wow! This is an old thread.

    I STILL wash mine...never.

    I wipe the greasy hand-prints off the fenders on the way to the yearly Grace Church Car Show. That is about it.
