Roughly every couple of weeks, normal driving conditions.
Gold doesn't show dirt much, but they sure do look good after a wash!

I've only driven mine on nice days, and have only washed it twice since I got it a year and a half ago.

Well my SD is no jewel visually, oxidized crappy re-paint bronze. What time i spend on it is towards its drivability and maintnace. When i finish my truck I'd like to freshen the SD up all around and then i'll keep her in cleaner skin! I did get my hands on some nice CLK320 lightweights that i put on it and that forces me to keep it washed up more cause they look so good cleaned up!

Right now, I wash about once a month. I'm really not driving (once or twice a week)...so, it's just to keep the dirt / dust from accumulating (it's parked outside).
I tried explaining to my girlfriend that it's easier to just keep a car clean by washing it regularly, rather than having to spend lots of time scrubbing stuck on tar, bugs, etc. I detailed the outside of my mother's car. It hadn't been washed in over a year, and driven daily. That was a 9-7PM job

Whenever I have a chance and the weather is clear. Lately, that has not been very often . . . I like to wax all of my cars about this time of year in preparation for the winter.
