    It's up to you, really. How picky are you about a clean car?

    But do wash it every so often to keep the paint clean (say.. once or twice a year? lol.. depends if you're close to the ocean or where they use salt on the roads, then wash more often).

    Would love to second the recommendation for turtle wax ICE, cleans and shines everything, black shiny plastic, rough plastic, and great finish on the paint. I am very detail oriented on keeping a clean car, and usually wash every week. Just dont use too much (when you apply) or you will get tiny streaks that are diff to buff off.
