Their soul is in every man who has a capacity equal to this achievement. Should the soul vanish from the earth, the motors would stop because that is the force which keeps them going - not the oil ...- not the steel cylinders that would have become spots of rust on the walls of the caves of shivering savages- the power of a living mind, the power of thought and choice and purpose.
Only when they are dirty.

Under steer is when you hit the wall with your front end. Over steer is when you hit the wall with your rear end. Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall. Torque is how far you move the wall.
I wipe them with my t-shirt after wearing them.
ASSuming the question pertains to watches,I'd say when I take it off and change to another.
Unless there is obvious smudging.
I have either a lens cleaning or Selvyt cloth in my desk, both cars, next to my winder, and by the key rack. I don't obsess about one watch - the Orange Monster. That looks good with goo! The others get cleaned off once or twice a day while being worn.
Most definately more often than is necessary.

Yeah, you must be sick. Only 10 times a day - your watches must really be dirty
It seems like I wipe the crystal almost every time I look at my watch. If I see any sort of smudge or fingerprint on it I'll wipe it with my cuff/shirt/towel - whatever is handy. There are times I can look at a watch and not see anything wrong with it, but I'm sure I wipe it way more than 10 times a day. The worst one for me was a Sinn U1 with the double AR coating. That picked up smudges all the time.
I wipe the crystal with my shirt or lens cleaning cloth whenever I see smudges on it. If the watch happens to have a bracelet that's a fingerprint/smudge magnet such as a polished Breitling or Rado ceramic bracelet, I find myself wiping them a lot too.

Doesn't that make your watches kind of stinky?

Benzinger Custom Skeletonized Star movement.
So what difference does it make, whether it's 20 minutes or 20 years, since neither amounts to the faintest echo of the tiniest whisper in the thunder of time.
