How much dirt do you accept?
We all like a clean vehicle. That's why we're OCD (obsessive compulsive detailers); but short of cleaning your vehicle daily - which isn't too practical, how dirty do you let your vehicle exterior get before you attend to it?

Rinseless wash 2 times a week only takes 10-15 mins, so it says pretty clean. Rims and tires about once a month.

Re: How much dirt do you accept?
Once per week top to bottom wheels and all typically. Audi is pretty much Rinseless only, the van I do both bucket hose and rinseless when I'm in the mood. If I can get 3 days without rain that is. This week calls for rain at 30% or better for the next 5 days or so Thus I will likely just do the inside. That's okay with me as a well maintained black car that shines like a mirror still looks pretty darn nice even with a couple rain showers on it. I will tend to clean the windows though as I can't stand foggy / dirty glass.

Rinseless wash once a week generally, wheels included. My car is parked outside almost 24/7, so usually at that point (a week after washing) I can see the dust on the car as my car is black.

ONR with Garry Dean wash method once a week. Lately, however, I have been using my foam gun again along with the adapted Garry Dean method (a few microfiber cloths in a bucket of soap, use 4 sides of the towel and discard). Usually use Megs Xpress wax as a drying agent but I have used Adams H2O Guard and Gloss lately and LOVE it.

Weekly ONR wash (Garry Dean method) including wheels. D156 every other week. Opti-Seal (as drying aid) every 3rd week. Daily - remove tree sap / bird bombs (dang, pine trees near my office) plus a QD spray for horizontal surfaces. Interior - Set routine - one section nightly (it's a nice relaxation after dinner.)

Re: How much dirt do you accept?
I do my car every 3-6 weeks unless something demands my attention. I live in NYC, its my daily (although i average about 1k miles every 3 months. lol) so yeah... I let some dust settle before i worry about it. But since I am starting up my detailing business, basically whenever I can as long as weather permits. (works out to be like once every week with QD spray on anything that gets a little out of hand), I just purchased a wet dry vac blower thing, so I can rinse the car a bit more often... I dont wanna towel dry it too much.

I like the one section nightly routine. Guess I'm not the oly one that does that. I'll ONR (or Opti-clean if not that dirty) the hood and two front fenders one night and the four door the next night, then the rear.
