I believe a clean car when with clients is as important as clean clothing. My car is washed as soon as it's visible that it needs to be freshened up.

I keep my car on a cleaning schedule at least once a week. Exterior wash and interior vacuum and wipe down. More often depending on weather.

We aim to wash ours every two weeks, but if it is visibly dirty then we wash it immediately.  It is imporant to us that our car be clean, organized, empty, and ready in the event that we are meeting clients and they could potentially ride with us.

A clean car looks great, but I've gotten more comments when I have my Subaru covered in mud. People know I've been somewhere when they see that. Of course the interior is always clean.

It is against the law to wash your car in CA at least in cities where they declare a water shortage.  People take them to car wash which uses a recycling water. Things people take granted like water is precious elsewhere.
