Not allowed to wash our cars at home around here due to water restrictions, but we can use a commercial car wash. The only thing that's permitted at home is spot removal of corrosive substances (bird poop) with a bucket and sponge.

I have a company that comes to my place and details all my cars.

no point in washing my car unless it's the summer. It's black, and the day after I was it, it always rains. Thus making it filthy again.

So basically it is dirty for 8 months, then spotless for 4 :1orglaugh

There's a product called QEW (Quick and Easy Wash) that is basically a no-suds type car wash that you can wash your entire car with using only a gallon of water, two buckets and a spray bottle.

It was made to clean RV's in campsites that don't allow the run-off. You can pretty much wash your whole exterior in your garage with the door closed and not get any excess water anywhere.

I used it when I was freezing my ass off in Dallas in the winter because I had a black car.

There is a mobile car wash that comes by once a month to do mine.

My Benz would most likely break up with me if I did that to her. Hand Wash only. And black is a bitch to keep clean :(

I'm too lazy to do all that, I take it to get detailed every once in a while. At least when someone starts writing in the dirt on it

Don't have time to do it but at the same time I don't trust going to the automated car wash either.

So I send mine to a auto detail shop once a week. They wash the car, polish the wheels, and detail the car inside and out :)

I dont do the drive through except occasionally like if a bird craps on my hood and I am going to pick up a date ill do one of the quick $5 drive through ones but only the touchless ones because I dont like the things hitting my convertible top (2007 Mustang oh yeah baby).

I usually go to the ones where you park your car and they have a pressure hose and foamy brush and vacumes there for you but since I moved last, they don't seem to have any where I am located and I havent really washed my car thoroughly in madd long!

The Hummer dealership I bought from has bikini carwashes during the summer. Needed or not I don't miss many!

Sweet! :thumbsup

I'm lucky that my man is a detailer on the side, so he does my car and he does it to the 9's every other week :)

car wash no mexicans.

That would still be illegal here, it's about what you're doing with the water rather than how much of it you use. The exception is if you have a non mains water source such as a rainwater tank, but that's probably not the best thing to be washing your car with... LOL

(Thought: if it really does only need a gallon then some enterprising young lad could package this product together with a bottle of water...)

:2 cents::thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

I was in a hurry once and took my DD to a LaserWash (automated brushless wash) on my way out of town and will never do that again. Turns out convertibles and high pressure automated washes don't play well together (unless you were really hoping to take a shower during the wash)

I never wash my truck. It's a 4x4 and never gets washed. It's a waste of water.

I do however wash my motorcycles.

Oh wow that blows then. I'm sure someone could package the whole thing together, and even with a spray bottle and a gallon of water it would only raise the actual price about $4 if you paid full price for the QEW.

Yep, we wash both of ours. I like doing it myself, even if it takes a couple of hours to detail. I guess it's the satisfaction I get from it that keeps me doing it myself.

not a bad deal, do all dealerships do that?

My maid cleans my everything.

I wash my own car occassionally, for the most part I take it to a hand wash place. I know the owner of the place I normally take it and his guys do a very very good job on my car for less than $9. I can get it detailed fully for $40. It looks showroom new :)
