how often do you clean your car
Actually just spent 3 hours washing and waxing!!!
i get free mobil laserwashes every 3 days or so, and probably use meguires shampoo every 2 weeks.
Try to wax once amonth, maybe every 2 months.
wash and wax door jams every 3-6 months.
Spray down engine bay evertime i wash the car by hand, and give it good clean every month.
Interior is vaccumed every week or two, but i try to keep it clean daily, no trash in car.
why you asking anyway???
Just curious. lol

whenever it gets dirty to the point where i think it will ruin my paint.
probably a simple rinse every 10 days, rinse/soap once every 3 weeks and a complete exterior detail every season.
i do interior once a month or til it looks messy.

i used to clean her inside and out(a quick clean, tho) every 2 or 3 days - but since i lowered it i cant drive through the drive through car wash - and its hot as all hell in my town lately so im too lazy to do it (not only is it hot, but i dont have a hose in my apartment complex to do such things)
now at least i keep the inside clean and the outside has been looking like hell lately. haha last time i got a wash it was from Honda when they checked out my a/c - and im getting another one from them today after they put in my new a/c

Rep Power: 0 Inside, I try to give it a quick vacuum once a week, and use a swiffer duster in between.
For the outside, whenever I get a chance (which is usually a couple of times a month). Since I commute daily to and from work, its not easy to keep the outside clean for long.

Wow...I knew you guys were hardcore, but TWICE A WEEK?!? 
I wash my car about every three weeks or so, but I have that wierd pearl/mist color and it doesn't show dust. (I love it for that, living in LV)
The inside I keep garbage free, and I Dyson the seats and VinylX the plastic about once a month.

It's AWESOME! Ya, the Dyson really is all that it's cracked up to be.
I sucks better than any vac I've used.
It's really light and the engine is much quieter than most powerful vacs.
Using the acc. hose is the easiest I've ever used.
I got mine refurbed from amazon marketplace. Directly from amazon, they are $250 for the DC07, refurb. The DC14 is the newer model, but I don't know what they changed. Also, a family member of mine has the "animal" version with all the accesories. I don't think the extra tools are worth the $100.

Well about once a week, and if it's dusty or a lot of pollen twice a week. If I can't wash it, I'll rinse the dust/pollen off at one of those wand wash type places. I have evil, tan-cloth interior, so I try to keep up on the insides. Since I'm the only one in the car most of the time, there are no worries about friends that might be slobs. Simple rules, eat before you get in, or eat after you get out.
So no problems with chili dogs stains or dropped 48oz purple sodas with that lame "Oh sorry man.. guess I dropped a coke in your car.."
Besides the rain the same or next day after a wash and wax, I hate driving though dusty construction sites on the highway or what seems like 50 blocks in a lot of areas, where they are using a saw to cut up the concrete, and as you are sitting there. stuck in one lane, next to the guy with the giant *** buzz saw, while your car gets covered in cement dust. You have to get that stuff washed off or at least rinsed off, because sure as $hit, some pin head is going to come along and write wash me in the cement dust, scratching the paint.

i try to wash my car once a week, and maybe clean the inside every couple weeks or so. I also wipe the engine bay with the wet rag from drying it everytime I wash it.
Every two or three months I'll claybar, polish and wax the entire outside, including taking off the wheels, claybar and waxing them, as well as cleaning the wheel wells.

exterior: once a week washes. sometimes 4 (if you count using waterless wash 
).
clay after winter and right before. remove swirls and polish right after. topped with an LSP.
wheel wells, underbody, interior and engine bay: once a month, unless in winter. vaccum, shampoo, dressing, organized glove boxes; the whole nine yards.

Rep Power: 330 wash it once every 2 weeks or so, ive only waxed it 2x in 1.5 years, saving up for a portercable buffer and some quality pads. waxing by hand sucks.
