I would think the less it gets washed, the longer it will last.

If you live in a dusty area like me that would be a bad idea. The trouble with dust buildup is when you open the top and it folds in layers, the abrasive dust particles trapped between the layers will act as sandpaper with the small movements caused by road irregularities. If your car is usually parked indoors and the top doesn't get that dirty, you can get away with simply rinsing off the top with water each time you wash your car then wiping the water off with a thick microfiber towel that will also help trap the dust particles.
