Mine's about 1-2 times every 3 months :D

Maybe if it were newer and pieces of rust didn't fall off when I sprayed it with the hose I'd wash it more.

Plus now it's winter and it's a pain in the ass to wash it often. I washed mine about 2 weeks ago and I will probably not do it again until the snow stops falling.

I normally hand wash the Bonneville about every other week in the summer time, but now that it's only 20*F when the sun is out, I run it through the laserwash in town to knock the salt off. I'll be taking it to my dad's heated shop here in a bit to give it a good thorough wash and throw some Liquid Glass down on the paint to keep it over the winter.

I just bought a 1998 4.3 Blazer 4X4 for $2850 last Wednesday. I drove it through the laser wash yesterday. I am an assistant manager at a feel mill and the cars get very dusty parked outside there. I will probably give a laser wash every week.

since i moved to gainesville i have only washed my truck 3 times in 4 months but i keep the inside as clean as possible i usually whip down everything like twice a week and vacum it like once a week

before i moved here though it was 5 times a month (i sprayed bedliners so alot of dust in the air from sanding)

Majority of the year (no snow) i wash mine 3 times a week average or anytime it gets dirty; my blazer doesn't have scratches/dents or anything so i try to keep it looking it's best, no need for wax really. winter i'd say 3-4 times a month.

i try to wash mine as much as possible. working at a potash mine is NOT good for your truck. even the snow has salt in it, everytime i get out at home there a white mist over 50% of the body.....so in the summer id say 1-3x a week depending how bad it is.....but i usually wash it once a week, and use the spray on wax they have at the wash.

I try to wax by hand at least once a summer, but ya, washing it in the winter is almost pointless, 5 minutes later its coverd in muddy snow anyway, and the doors and window freeze shut.

Maybe once a month. I live on a damn gravel road that gets it dirty even if I don't drive it.

I started out with visions of grandeur in my eyes when I bought the Blazer and I was going to keep it clean once a week. Since July when I got it I think I have only washed it 5 times on the outside and it needs a good cleaning inside. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that washing vehicles is a waste of time.

I wash mine about once every two weeks. I use the yellow liquid called KIT (I think). It works wonders.

Kit is amazing, thats all they used at my old work. I try to wash my car once / twice a week with a waxing every month or when my paint doesn't feel smooth. Its hard right now because it rains every weekend so its pointless. Although i did take it offroading a little bit today was pretty fun.

I think KIT is the best. It's just awesome. I would wash my car but it is freezing outside.
