I tend to wash mine once a month during winter but to stop white worm from taking my monzas I give them a quick spray with apc and give them a wash including arches once a week.  Road salt will eat through the monzas and the dodgy vw wheel arches in no time.

I live 100m from a Tesco garage so i will check out their jet wash first.

I just find that never makes a difference, especially on a black car. I've taken mine to my local garage a few times, jet washed it down, it has looked great, then dried exactly the same as before. My car is really well protected too.

Mines black as well Andrew.. i guess in my mind, washing the salt and any crud off is better than not doing anything at all!

I used to wash it a lot less, and just jet wash it as often as I could. Then when I did wash it I always used the snow foam as this lifts the dirt away from the paint.  :smiley:
