Do you wash your car or let somebody else do it ?

[Investr]

The truck goes through the auto wash but the Boxster (on order) will be hand wash by me only as my other "nice cars" were

[ejvette]

I do both hand wash and car wash we don't have a good carwash close by basically I'm lazy when it comes to this so I would prefer a car wash

[Abdullah71601]

I have the car detailed whenever the missus hints it's dirty. The truck gets detailed once a year and hosed off in the drive whenever it starts to show soil.

[AzPaul]

Used to enjoy washing and waxing the truck myself but at some point, the time for that disappeared.

[Wesley Crusher]

I wash my own car.... too cheap to pay somebody $40 to do it for me lol.

[blufinz52]

Hand on wash my E550. I like getting into all the nooks and crannies and getting the entire car spotless.

[btinl]

I hand wash my cars. I find it relaxing.

[rootbeer7]

Definitely myself

[superdog]

I run em through a wash. Find a good one with well trained guys, and get friendly.

I use one by my office and one by my house. They treat my cars great. I do the detailing once the foundation is done.

In the winter time only is auto wash. I put my watch down a special radio antenna and run that through at the same time.

I've a 2004 Honda Jazz with 170k on the clock

I usually wash it every week myself weather permitting. In the winter I use autoglym high resin polish. In the summer - autoglym high definition wax. It's an old car but I like to start the week knowing it's hoovered, washed, polished & the dash wiped over. The autoglym range of products is best for those on a budget

[Dyim]

Touchless automatic wash.

Back no good for hand wash.

[tritium8]

Hand wash.....it's too cheap here (LA) not to do it.

Company car? Costco car wash. Amazing for less than $9

My personal cars? Two bucket method. Meguairs NXT wash, sheepskin mitt, microfiber waffle drying towel.

Meguiars D115 as a final wipe down.

Swirl free for years.

Thanks! Still very satisfying.

[GRB]

I do my own . It's therapy for me .
I use Meguiars car wash, followed by a claying, then wax
with Pinnacle Sovereign Wax. I'll only clay the car
once ,every four to six weeks.

[BrazenC5]

I let someone else wash my truck. Mother Nature.

Both

My daily is also my overlanding rig.

Cleanliness doesn't matter when I have scratches up and down the side from offroading.

However, I do keep it relatively neat. Think of it as well kept patina. I auto-wash it twice a week, and get it professionally detailed teice per year.

I also get unlimited free carwashes through work though, so that may have something to do with it.

Forgot to add that I use Adams Car Care products.

On my daily drivers such as wifes and the pick up trucks are treated with a handwash car club, for a monthly fee I can bring them in as many times as I want.....but for the SLS and the Ferrari, I wash them myself at home or will bring it to the professional detailer where I had them put on the ceramic coating.

My car gets washed twice a year, once when it goes for MOT and once at service time.

[beshannon]

I would not trust anyone else to wash my car

[Rock]

Lifelong car-nut. Nobody washes my cars but me. In fact I wash all the cars in the family.
Not into the clay-bar, wax thing however. Not THAT obsessive. Used to wax the cars every year but haven't done that for a decade as none of them sit out in the weather.

[Ferdelious]

I wash my own cars and invested in a pressure washer and foam cannon to expedite the process. Having 2 SUV's it's expensive to get hand washed regularly and I like a clean car. Plus it's hard to find someone who will do it better than yourself. As for products, I used to be picky getting Mothers or Zymol now it's whatever Costco has. I will not wax them however, that's a once year job for the detailing company.

The foam cannon

I do it myself. Usually using a power washer, then a lance for the soap. Two bucket method scrub. Power wash clean. California blade to get the water off.

I can only give them an okay rating, as they don't dry the car very well and it leaves spots.

I'm not going to a car show, so I don't sweat it. If I want a better job, I pay a little extra.

The unlimited platinum express wash is very convenient for me and the price is right.
