As per title, interested to know peoples cleaning habits. For me it’s usually around every 3 weeks depending on how dirty it is
 
Sadly, I cannot clean her as often as I would want to.
Health issues and demanding family are priority for me.

I am just about to start entire cleaning/detailing process after last wash about two months ago.

Got some new gear and hope for new/excellent results

Went a few months I think without a wash full stop. Then a few times down at the local Polish..

Then I was washing weekly while trying to get my snow foam to work (needed new pressure washer). But now I imagine I'll be doing it once a month probably. Depends how dirty it gets really.

Fortnightly but like @jassyo06 said it has been almost impossible recently. However, I did manage to wash missus's car today and it started raining soon afterwards and then I thought why the **** did I bother.

I can take 2 hours just washing the car, but washing constantly like twice a week l think is a waste of time and products, plus you don't get the same impact as when you've let a wash slip a week or two , l really have to be in the mood for it these days..... Car washing that is.... Lol In the next 3 weeks l am planning on correcting any paint flaws, then a full jeweling then a ceramic coating that's a full 2 days/ 20 hours of car care ocd which in turn will minimise the maintenance, so then its a wash n go type of thing from then on in

Only two hours? Takes me double that, but most of the time is spent on the inside which I find harder to do than outside. I need to learn from this wifey:

Great looking car mate.

My daily in silver will get a very quick wash, sometimes just wheels and lower parts only and it looks fine.
The black S4 Cab always looks dirty and as the front end was resprayed its a couple of hours process with a couple of coats of quick detailer only on a cold day.
As the RS does not do much in the winter i am always doing the wheels but need half a day to do a part decent job family permitting.

Presently I can only do it when time permits. Apart from my own car I also look after my wife's, son's and his GF's. S about every 3 weeks for each. When I retire I'll probalby be doing it every day lol

Aim for once a week. Failing that I just clean the alloys to keep on top of them.

Always once every a week, come rain, snow, shine or darkness.
I’m lucky enough to have a floodlit and covered car port, so can always wash and then i usually just dry it off in the garage etc if too cold outside.

I need a car port like yours especially one that the neighbours can't see me or talk to me.
