I'm so anal about my vehicles. When I find one little spot of bird crap, I wash that off quick. Then I usually just end up washing the whole truck :D!
 
I usually run it through a wash once a week in the spring/summer but once every other week in the winter. I give it a thorough cleaning a few times a year(I mean spend almost the whole day cleaning every nook and cranny until the last speck of dust is gone). I don't know about everybody else, but if it is nice weather and I am hanging out outside, I always find myself bringing out the cleaning supplies from the garage and just doing something to make my 4Runner look good.
 
With my school schedule, it's difficult to clean my car a lot. I'll do it probably 2-3 times a month, more if I have time and I just don't trust anyone/anything to do the job for me. It just takes me too much time to do a wash I can be happy with. I'd rather leave it dirty than do a half-assed job on it.

Twice a year, I'll spend about a week cleaning everything up (wheel wells and undercarriage included), polish out the paint and seal it.
 
I'm on the once a week schedule. I wax it about once a month. I like to clean it weekly not just to keep that showroom shine, but I like to stay on top of scratches, rock chips, etc so I can touch them up. With the front end mask, there is a lot of work necessary, but I don't mind.
 
I wash it at least once a month in the summer time and whenever its warm enough in the winter. If its cold for 6 months, then it just doesn't get washed and I'm not taking it through a drive thru car wash...

Waxing gets done ever 3 months.
 
Weekly. Wax in 3 stages, bi monthly.

LOL - in Hong Kong most cars are washed daily by the domestic helper (maid) in the morning before people head off to work. If you left the car a week you would have black stains running down the paint from all the pollution. Yuck!

Beer always works well with those projects...

I clean mine as much as i can. Weekends is my only time, but I have 3 cars to clean. And I'm also that "nook and cranny" cleaning kind of guy, that will clean every single dirt until my eyes dont see anymore. :D
 
I go 4 wheeling in my truck atleast 2-3 times a week. I never clean it. once it's muddy I like it that way. But thats what happens when you have a 20 year old truck with rust.
 
I take mine to a small hand wash that specializes in high end vehicles.
I know the guy and its a good deal.
I park outside and got a white 4runner so it gets a little moisture from the ocean and attracts dust.
I am pretty neurotic about how clean my vehicle is. And I just got it about 2 months ago so I am still cleaning it up slowly to my specs.
 
washing

I wash mine at least weekly... I agree, if the weather is nice a couple of beers and cleaning the ride is a great day!! I wash it myself during the warm months, and run it thru a "touchless" wash during the winter just to keep the salt off of it....
 
2-3 Times A Month

Since it's always foggy here & my truck unfortunately has to be parked on the driveway :( ... while I'm warming up, i spray down the truck w/ water.

Easier than a squeegee & I get to rinse off the rest of the truck. So it stays pretty clean.

And plus, it's silver.
 
I have the fog problem here by the beach also, but I don't wash it off with water. Since mine is black, that wouldn't really solve anything. I just squeegee the front window.

The part that bugs me is driving home late at night (midnight or 1 a.m.) because the dew streaks everywhere.

That's why I wash it every week, and sometimes I use an instant detailer in between washes. Gotta keep it nice and shiny.
