    If it doesn't have blue paint on it, it usually got 18 coats of lanolin on it!

    I have washed mine 3 times since new (03 Model) but I routinely blow the inside, engine bay and chassis rails out with compressed air and lanolin everything else.

    Gerni wash when I can't see out the windows.
    Hose out the interior when it gets really muddy or sandy.
    Always after a drive along the beach.

    I don't have a set schedule for washing - I wash mine after an offroad drive if I've gone through mud or water, paying special attention to the chassis. I don't mind getting it dirty - but once home I'll clean it if need be.

    I sprayed my entire underside (of Grover! ) with fishoil too.

    Whenever it gets dirty. If I'm stuck just pootling around town, maybe once a month. Inside gets done thoroughly once a month with little dog-hair vacuums every fortnight.

    And I'm with Aaron - washing the car is a Zen moment for me. It clears your mind of everything else for a couple of hours.
