I wash every week and half or every week depending. Everyone goes why do you wash it so often? If I didn't it would get salted by the air and fog....

I washed my car over the weekend and it randomly rained just enough to make it dirty yesterday. It's the worse when you wash a car then it rains

As long as you have diluted it to form the recommended cleaning solution ratio. Sudds/foam does not mean anything.
