I have such a beater that I'd feel guilty spending any time or money on washing the thing. If you saw me trying to clean my car, it'd be like watching someone trying to shine a turd.
I do not wash my car. I work in the countryside, it would be a fools errand. Car washing is for namby pamby, metrosexual city types and the chronically insecure/inferior.
I just go out for a drive when it rains.I don't bother with such things. That is what my valet, Carstairs, is for. When he gets done with his daily wash if my '04 Hinda Civic, it looks better than it did when I bought it from the used car dealership. You bunch of serfs washing your own cars makes you sound poor.
