Do you go to a car wash or hand wash your car?

Car wash. The dirt around here turns to powder resulting in a need to wash too frequently for me to have the time/patience to do it by hand. I figure a drive through the car wash on a more frequent basis is better than never getting around to it.

Both. Sort of. There is a carwash in my town that is affectionately known as "the hot car wash." They employ young 20 something year old guys who are pretty muscular and are either shirtless or wearing a tank top. They hand wash all of the really dirty spots and then you go through the car wash. After you drive through there is a guy waiting to hand dry your car.

And I guess to be fair they also have a girl working there now. But she keeps her shirt on!

My hubby hand washes my car for me

Living in southern CA I take to car wash where they recycle water.

DH will go through the automatic car wash ..pay a ton and the car still comes out looking dirty and unwashed I get so mad.

If I wash the car I will go to the car wash and use the brush and machine sprayer thing. It comes out a littler better but still not as clean as a hand wash.

Car wash for sure. I only go a few times a year...I don't even have time for that, I certainly don't have time to hand wash! Lol.

My DS is very tall so he usually now gets car washing duties when he's around, which isn't really that often due to work, because the process is easier for him.......so in between I use the hand wash service at Sainsburys!!  

We wash by hand. My SO has all the stuff (with help from me and Valentine's Day-hey don't say I'm not a romantic!). We spend a Saturday or Sunday morning washing both of our cars and drying them. They look good! It doesn't take long to do both cars, either. Sometimes we do it at night after work. Depends on how bad they look.

I hand wash it, or pay one of my kids to do it.  

I do take it to a local car wash and use their vacuum, though.   

I can't remember the last time I washed my car. 

DSO and DS washed it for me after we'd been to the snow last month. Before that, who knows?

I got out of the habit of washing my car when we were in a drought and you weren't allowed to do it unless you were using recycled water. Now I'm just lazy.

We live in a high rise building, so there's no place to wash it outside. We do have a place in the basement parking garage where we can rinse the salt and road grime off for free, but it's basically just a hose and a floor drain in the dark basement. Hard to really get it clean there. I drive it through the car washes at the gas station periodically too. And then, about twice a year, I'll either take it to one of those places where you can wash it yourself, or I'll go get it detailed professionally. I really like my car to be super clean inside and out, but with all the road salt around here for 6 months of the year, that's just not going to happen.

Car wash.  

I do both.

Unfortunately, I have to hand wash mine because it's a convertible. Sometimes, I would love to just run it through for a quick cleaning, but no can do.
