How often

Do you wash your Cobalt?

Twice a week for mine..... I'm kinda OCD on the cleanliness of the outside of my car, matter of fact, she's getting a bath on the way home! (If ya saw where I park my car @work, you'd understand......

I don't drive it much, so basically just before car meets or shows.

Haven't washed mine since November 1st. But that's because it's been in storage since then. But normally I wash mine once a week. Occasionally twice a week.
