Do You Wash Your Own Car??

i only trust myself with washing my car. I'd never use a machine, and I wouldn't be confident those places that wash your car by hand would be using the right materials to protect the car's paintwork.

Hoover it myself, but admit I put it through the car wash. (but after the last time- when the car wash broke down mid-wash with rollers just above my head, I might think again).

Since I sold my car due to loss of work my missus' car has never been so much more looked after, i've even given it a polish!

To be honest, the only time I used to take mine to a car wash (£3) was when my car was really dirty and the weather was too cold, normally winter time.

I don't take it as seriously as the people on detailing world do, but I do wash the car every couple of weeks or so when I can. Do the interior every 2 or so months as I hate dirty interiors, but dirty glass is my bugbear!

We had a guy who came to our office and washed cars for a fiver, only used him once or twice in depths of winter, but he did a good job. I wouldn't go to a lot of the hand car wash places, just seem too expensive for the job they do.

My parents older cars really need a good proper clean and polish as the paintwork is getting a bit tired but we'll see how it goes.

We wash our cars by hand, but hardly ever get round to it. OH said he was going to vax the inside of my car last weekend, he never did, I'm not sure why he was thinking of vaxing it apart from he wanted to play with the vax. I'm a bit put off washing my car as it is very high, over 2 metres. I clean the glass often, I use a mop to reach.

I am always curious who, if anybody uses the car hand-wash places.

My local Vauxhall dealer has a special offer, buy a car from them and you get a 'free and easy'

Free wash, dust and vacuum for the rest of the time that you own the car. Brilliant eh.

It goes down there, once a fortnight, comes out sparkling while i sit in their lounge having a latte and a biscuit.

Unfortunately you have to drive a Vauxhall:o:o:(:(

I cleaned the interiors of my cars today.

I tend to alternate cleaning the interiors, the alloys and the paintwork so that it all gets done thoroughly.

I use a cleaning spray i got from a shopping channel, no water, no hassle, ten mins the car is looking bling!!

There is a drive through car wash near where I live and between Monday & Thursday they only charge £2.50 for the top car wash , which is normally a fiver. I tend to go there once a week and hoover the car myself.
