Mine stays in the garage most of the time. I have a detailer that comes out every other week to my house and washes all my cars. He also waxes all the cars every 3 months.

As often as i take it out I wash it..maybe 1 - 3 times a week if I hit bugs. Wax like twice a month, but as many as 3 times in a week before a show.

I wash once to twice a week, and wax once every 3-4 weeks. But it's my daily driver. I wash by hand on the weekends and I do a drive through midweek if I can't make it to Saturday.

Edit: and it's outside 24/7 in Florida. I do have a covered parking at my apartment complex though.

If I'm bored and in the mood I'll do a good wash anywhere from 1-3 times a month. I used to do it alot more. Also used to wax once a month. Now its just turtle wax ice and a wash when it gets dirty enough.

black is such a pain in the *** to take care of, I just washed my car today and i can see the swirls and whatnot but it still looks good. I will probaly give it a buffer with the machine I have and wax it in a week or so.
