ROFL, that’s hilarious.

Just the past three days I washed it, used a clay bar (took 5 hours), washed it again and waxed it.

And have many pics

On the side note:I wash outside once a week, inside once every 2 weeks, and detail once a month.

If you want to see larger and more pics go to my gallery.

maybe once a month... when I lived at home last summer it was once a week, but it's reall inconvenient now and stupid parking lots have tore up the passenger side a bit so a little bit of dirt just hides the paint defects...

I keep the interior free of debris, but only cuz when I am hitting the "redneck touges" in the country I don't want crap flying around in my car. I wash it sometimes, but when 1/3 of my car is covered in 3 colors and finnishes of Krylon white spray paint, I really see no point. D1 cars are pretty cuz sponsors want them to be. My car is a toy/tool not a show peice. This is a change for me. My RX-7 got a wash once a week and a wax every 3 months. But that thing was for street racing, and shine adds 15hp+ ;)

i wash my car 2-3 times a week, and it's dirty everytime. Live in the middle of nowhere with my neighbors tractors stirring up dust all the time. Interior gets cleaned all the time as well.=) Boy do i need a new paint job though...trying to avoid rewaxing until i get it done.
