Miata's #1 and 2 used to get washed ~3 times a month.
The current miata only gets it maybe once 2 times a quarter, flat paint FTW.

I used to be more particular than I am now. Though - working from home has helped with keeping the car clean this year.
I wash about once every 2 to 3 weeks by hand here at home. If I do take it to a car wash - it's one with a hand wash. But it's been well over a year since I've done that. I don't care for running it through the automatic washes.
I claybar and wax twice a year.
I wash about every other month. I clean off the dust every time it's starting to bug me, and then use that meguires detailing spray that is supposed to "help" the wax after it's dusted.
Really, this is way more than my car needs considering all the paint chips and light scratches from normal driving around here. I can only get it looking so good (10-15 feet away it looks pretty good.)
Wash? My car is a beautiful shade of gray regardless of my maintenance habits.
I try to wash it every week. I use Protect All Quick & Easy wash since it's no rinse and I can wash without a hose. I think I'll break out the Porter Cable this weekend and give it a good polish and wax.
I either wash the Miata in the driveway or let the guys at Car Spa hand wash and wax it as needed. Needed is a loose term as it has not moved very much in the last few months. The BMW gets washed about once a week and waxed once a month.
For all those that frequent Car Spa I appceciate your business as it helps to keep me employed :D
when there's so much brake dust that its two-tone.
