When do you wash your beloved Evolution in Western Washington?

I know its a silly question, but which week out of the year do you wash your beautiful LanEVO in the Sea-Tac area? Or anything west of the Cascade Mountain Range.

I try and I try to keep her clean but not 5 minutes goes by without some form of precipitation falling from the sky, thus marring all of my work.

Or is that the price one pays for living in this climate? Then again, I just can't resist water or mud bogging when given the chance.

Maybe I'm just babbling...

The price you pay living in the Northwest. I haven't washed mine Since early January while trying to fight off frostbite. During the spring/summer I usually do it once a week on Saturday morning...depending how hung over I am.

Yup, apparently, I'm doing it at all the wrong times. Just trying to get a feel when it should start to dry up a tad around here, actually, since I'm relatively new to the area and all. San Diego was kinda the total opposite

How about when it's dirty? I try to wash it every week, and try to wax it every other week. The winter here is hell on the paint, it's a ton of work keeping it looking nice.

I wash mine every time I drive it. But then again I am a professional detailer and it's a must that my car reflects my job. If you want to get your car detailed, just send me a pm and I will take care of your car for you.

I wash my car any time there is a sun break, which is about once a week or so....Obviously when we had the blizzards I wasn't worried about it. I also drive about a 150 - 200 miles a day, so in the summer I wash my car twice a week. And detail the interior once a week. Although the people in my nieghborhood describe me as the guy who is always washing his car! It makes me happy.

^ Thats funny...

Anyways I don't wash my car that much during the winter time, it rains every other day and mud puddles a plenty on the road. So I'll spray it off at the wash station atleast once a week. I'm gonna wait till prolly May or late april to really get down and give my car that wash and buff it deserves. Always remember, clean your interior too, you'd be suprised at the amount of dirt/dust/etc your body transfers into your car.

I just wash my car when it rains during the winter season. That way I don't have to bother drying the car. Yes I am a lazy bum.
