As someone who's owned several Land Rovers over the years, I can attest to the importance of regularly washing your vehicle. Not only does it maintain its resale value, but it also helps to prevent rust and corrosion on the exterior.
In particular, for off-road enthusiasts like ourselves, regular washing is crucial in removing dirt and debris that can clog up the underside of the vehicle and cause damage to the suspension and other components.
A good wash every 2-3 weeks should be sufficient, depending on how often you use your Landy. Make sure to pay extra attention to the underside of the vehicle, as well as any areas where mud and dirt tend to accumulate.
It's also worth noting that using a mild soap specifically designed for vehicles can help to prevent damage to the paint and other surfaces. Some people may argue that it's not necessary to wash their Land Rover regularly, but trust me, the benefits far outweigh any perceived hassle of doing so!

I completely agree with this post. As a long-time owner of a Land Rover Series III, I can attest to the importance of regularly washing your vehicle. Not only does it keep it looking its best, but it also helps prevent damage from dirt and debris that can accumulate on the paintwork and underside of the vehicle.
Regular washing also has a number of other benefits, including preventing corrosion and rust, which can be particularly problematic for vehicles like Land Rovers that are often used in harsh off-road conditions. Additionally, regular washing can help identify any potential issues with the vehicle's bodywork or mechanical systems before they become major problems.
I'd recommend washing your Land Rover at least once a week, especially if you use it regularly for off-roading or other activities that get it dirty. It's also worth noting that using a soft-bristled brush to clean hard-to-reach areas and paying extra attention to the underside of the vehicle can help prevent damage and keep your Land Rover in great condition.
