I personally hate to have to buy a car every three to five years but i also hate to have a car that looks ugly. So the least i can do is to keep that car looking it's best. I do my own car wash once a week. Two cars, my wife's and mine, hers is a 2009 mine to some people too old 1987 bimmer, but it looks better than some new ones out on the streets, actually not that difficult to keep a car looking it's best, We love to look good, well our car is part of our wardrobe literally. By the way that car wash person, to him your car is not his highest priority so do you think his gonna do his best. I dough it.

That is a great way to get a nice wash, and avoid doing it yourself if it is something you do not enjoy doing. Plus you feel good knowing where money is going.

I did not think to mention that since my post was specifically targeted towards the cost issue, but conserving water could def go under pros of going to the car wash. It is very important to me to think of the environment and ways we often waste water. I must say though...much like you mentioned your days in Cali...there is something nice about a nice summer day and cleaning the car. I will probably stick to doing it by hand most often.

The car wash is one of those. I have read a few places that washing your own car with the hose will take more water on average than taking the car to a car wash. So is it better to sacrifice the water or your money? I can never decide but here in Utah the cold weather usually decides for me and we take the car to the car wash. I did enjoy washing my car by hand when I lived in Cali. The hot sun, cold water and smooth car...what a nice summer day that was. Sometimes the frugal in me and the green in me fight about things.

My husband washes the car on occasion, but if he slacks, my favorite thing to do is find fundraiser car washes. They handwash and seem to do the best job.
