I wash mine more in summer, because it gets too cold here, and when I wash it in the winter the doors and windows freeze shut..
-
id say summer, but that's from my experiances, i guess it all depends on where you live

I wash our cars often, almost weekly, in the summer as I am obsessed with appearance and like to convey a 'I'm proud of my car' image to everyone else. However, in the winter, the salt is the enemy for the paint. I heavily wax my car before winter comes and allow it to sit longer in between washes. I often use a pay n' spray car wash since my hose freezes, and just driving it back home gets it dirty again. Therefore I don't sweat a dirty car in the winter. To answer your question, I'd say more people wash in the summer.

I'd have to say summer here too. The salt is bad for the paint ect. but it's more convient when the doors and windows aren't frozen shut! :)

Around here, neither; washing cars is for wimps!
-
Summer definately it never looks decent for more than five minutes in winter
-
Well I wash mine in summer and winter. I never knew we had to choose one or the other - lol. However, it gets a lot more dirty in winter, so it has to be washed more often. It still doesnt get washed much though - Im just lazy
-
Definetly summer because to a lot of people it's fun and a lot of people do it as a family thing or fundraisers stuff like that and it also gets dirtier in summer.
-
I'll be different and say winter because in the winter its rainy and muddy and my car goes through puddles and needs to be cleaned more often because of that.
-
I don't know about other people, but I wash mine more in the winter because of the salt that's used on the roads when it snows.
-
ussually more in summer, not only because its cold, but because im so busy in the winter school work, and summer is a vacattion.

In the summer, because of the dry weather. You will find those, that wash them because they have to (the car is extremely dirty), and those who wash them on a regular basis, but for the most part, if it is raining, you get less cars going through the car wash. My daughter works at one.

I'd say Summer cause I can wash mine during winter and drive down my driveway and its dirty again, although in the summer I drive it down my driveway and it gets dusty!

A UK survey recently found that most people only wash their car when they first get it and then again when they are selling it to get another one. I can confirm this to be truth and having just got a new one to replace the broken one, I cleaned it using the original stuff that I'd bought 6 years ago.

Summer. It just seems to get more dirty then with pollen, dirt, sand, etc. Most of these are caused by the fact that I am more active in the summer

Here "Canada", if you don't take your car frequently to the carwash in winter, every metalic exposed part will rust from all the de-icing salt they put on roads.

summer. the water wont freeze before u can use it.

summer

I THINK WINTER IS ALSO A GOOD TIME TO WASH YOUR CAR. ALL THE SALT AND SAND THAT GETS STUCK TO YOUR RIMS AND PAINT WILL RUIN IT IF IT STAYS ON THE CAR FOR A LONG PEROIOD OF TIME.

I own a car wash, and I can tell you with 100% certainty that in cold climates, people wash their cars a lot more in the winter!!! For instance, my volume is about 4x more in the winter. That's when it really cranks!
