So I wax every three months if it rains a lot and I drive the car in rain. When the pollen falls thick I use blower first. My Honda 8 years old and still looks like new inside and out except for few rock chips I dab with matching paint.
There are some great wash (and pre-wash) soaps out there that won't remove your wax. Try Griots Car Wash available in most of the local auto stores. The guy who detailed my vehicle recommended it and it gets great reviews on all the "detailing" forums. It could easily save you at least 1 wax a year assuming you used a good wax to start.

That being said, I will never put my car through ANY car wash.
