I wash mine more in winter than summer. I was going to today but then saw the forecast.

At least salt season is over...

Always have and always will.

The set up i have now means i can do all three in the time it used to take me to do one.

Always done my own myself.

Had a couple of jobs that involved automatic car washes, so I'll never put mine through one of them. Another job required me to get cars washed by these hand-wash folk. Saw too many cloths dropped and scratches caused as a result to ever let them loose on my car.

I use a brush on the end of a hose and chamois, giving the underside a good hosing. Will only polish a car when it's up for sale.

In my tenties I occasionally used a car wash. Lots of paint scratches as a result. So I always washed my own cars by hand. Company cars on the other hand.. were almost always car wash.

I take the washing time as an opportunity to remove bee poo, tar and see any chips for touching up later...

Oh dear, do they need washing?

I wash the car when it is too dirty to ignore then I wash it on the driveway with a hose and soft brush. Lots of water to wash off the grime. The wheels I do with a smaller brush and in the nooks and crannies with a toothbrush.

When the car has been too dirty with old salt and the weather was too bad to do it at home I have jet washed it at the nearby car-wash, mainly to remove crud from the wheels and suspension. That was when I was taking it in for servicing the next day.

I like to keep the inside tidy so I vacuum that more often than I wash the outside.

When I was in Zambia I heard tales of the owner getting the 'garden boy' to wash the car One of the tales was of the owner going in for a beer and coming out to find the cleaner standing on the car roof washing it with the yard brush. That pointed out the importance of clear instructions first. Another story was that the owner of a new Mercedes, just home forom driving the car back from Europe, gave specific instructions, plenty of water first then a soft brush. The owner was away longer than he'd intended and when he returned he found the cleaner sitting in the driver's seat washing the dashboard.

Yes, usually once in the Winter and once in the Summer.

Never ever ever let anyone but me wash my car even when it goes in for service, I always tell them not to wash my car, the reason? Because if you look at your car in certain lights ( street lighting) you will see swirl marks that come from using sponges, ect that pick up small particles of grit and dirt and get spread around the paintwork of your car. The correct way is the two bucket method , that is one bucket with soapy ( proper car wash shampoo not fairy liquid) water and another with clean water to rinse your wash mitt (not sponge ) plus grit guards at the bottom of your buckets to catch any grit particles, microfiber towels to dry your car after rinsing . Check out you tube there's loads of car cleaning tips on there, ( plus I enjoy cleaning my car regularly )

Wash both myself. Merc is kept pretty well immaculate. Ford gets washed infrequently.

There's no point in washing a clean car, so I only wash ours every couple of months or so. But when I do wash the car I try to do a proper job of it.

But what about cleaning the inside? Ella doesn't:

Yeah still washing the cars myself but can't help but notice that I appear to be in the minority.
