Eh I'm not worried about it. There are plenty of other things that are far more harmful to the environment than car soap that we should be worried about.

Whenever the car is dirty. It could be every day or once a week.
I just use a touchless car wash. Very rarely I wash the car at home, I`d rather be driving than washing the car.

I try to go to the hand wash once a week.

Not sure if you can see my sig pic but 3 cars almost weekly - the 550, the R56 MINI and the 135.

Sometimes I'll just hit the wheels every 3 days or so to get rid of the brake dust.

Favorite soap is Zymol clear bathe and Autoglym's shampoo conditioner.

Interiors about once a month.

Once a week is best, do the wheels first with water left over from the last wash then fresh water in the bucket with Meguiars car wash and conditioner for the main wash.

I washed my car on Sunday. It rained on Monday. I washed it again on Tuesday evening. In the dark. Yes, I have a problem!
