On a scale of 1 to 10, how clean do you keep C7 and how clean daily driver?
My vette stays about an 8 because of the dust in my garage. I guess I should invest in a car cover. My daily driver a 2010 chevy truck about a 5 or 6 maybe but it's for work and collecting rent.

My DD is my C7 unless there is snow/ice on the road. It gets dirty. It's a depreciating Chevrolet and I'm not saving it for the next owner.

C7 lives indoors and stays around an 8. I think i suffer like most...the elusive "garage dust."
Driver is a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. She lives outside but does get a wash at least once a month. So borderline on that one. Let's call it a 5. Besides, she's a Jeep!

C7 - 10, no question about it. Gets cleaned and detailed after every drive and certainly before going out again. Being retired allows me the time to do all that.

I guess I would have to give the C7 a 7. I wash it when it's dirty, I detail it a few times a year. I'm not that obsessive about it.

All my cars are daily drivers.
The Corvette stays a little cleaner because if it is bad weather, I tend to leave the Corvette a home for the day, but it does not go more than a couple of days without being driven.
Most days I drive both cars somewhere.

2017 gs is a 9 its washed once a week and not driven in the rain. I won't park it under trees or any other place that's prone to cause damage. More or less I wash any dust off every week. The wheels are a 2, they have been washed twice all year, its a losing battle, they are black though so its not super terrible looking.
2014 fiesta st is a 2 i wash it 2 times a year and maybe 3-4 touchless a year. Can't care too much about that cars appearance.

I usually drive my GS 2 days a week to work, and my Macan the rest of the time, or if it is rainy (it only rains in NorCal between October and March). The GS is parked in the garage, and the Macan stays outside. I usually wash them together every other week, so the GS is a 9, and the Macan is a 5 or 6.

2018 GS - 10 : used as a good weather weekend car 1,500 mi/yr, and washed or rinsed and dried after every use plus stored in a climate controlled garage.
2015 Jeep GC, 2016 Jeep Cherokee, 2017 Acura RDX, 2018 Jeep Compass - 8 or 9 : all are daily drivers (10-15,000 mi/yr) and stored outside, but get washed at least 1-2x per week (if we don't have rain and the dirt it causes - they get rinsed daily) including wheels, and detailed 2 or 3x per year.
You might say I like my cars clean.

5 -- so far. Bought Cersei in May and we've been under water restrictions. It can be challenging to find the right time for a bath because of our geography. Started around 7:15 a.m. yesterday and barely finished by the time the sun had risen over our house.
