My dad got his 2006 Torch Red V6 about a month ago, and he washes and waxes it almost every single day. What about you guys?

When I first got it, washed it every day, now it's every 2 or 3 days and I wax it once a month or so...also I wax the front bumper every wash to keep the bugs from sticking, it's driven daily.

She gets a hand wash and detail almost every weekend.
Once a month she gets Zaino
Several times a week she gets the "Spot Free Rinse" at the car wash.
Really low pressure so it just rinses the settled dust off her.

First time I heard you doing this.. holding back some tricks of the trade, Daryl?

To answer the topic question, I've only washed her once, the day I brought her home.

Only use Z-6 to maintain the finish now.

Usually gets a bath about once a week or at least every 2 weeks. A wax about once a month, sometimes longer if I use the detailer. A clean car is a happy car

I have owned my 2003 Mach 1 since 9/03...it has been "wet washed" twice. Its never in the rain or spends a night outside..EVER! I average 2 coats of Zaino a month I would say..same story on my Roush. I think my Mustangs have approx 15-20 coats a piece on them now.
