Wash your car yourself...or go to car wash? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 11-01-2006, 06:08 PM

I prefer going to the car wash. Preferably the ones where I don't have to leave my car. If I need a lavish detail on my car, then I will go to the places where I must get out of the car and let them take their time detailing. But most of the time, I don't have time to waste waiting around. I rarely take it anymore to a place to wash myself. I used to do that before, but I just don't have the time to deal with that anymore. I never wash my car at home either.

myself. car washes are horrible for your paint. those brushes and such are dirty, which causes swirl marks in the clear coat. the only time i will take my car to the car wash is in the winter, to get all the salt and crap off of it but even then i take it to a brushless car wash.

I wash it myself. I'm cheap. And I dont trust other people with my car.

Sometimes I wash it myself. Don't laugh, but I didn't start washing my own car until I was 20. I usually had someone else to do it.

But if I feel like it, I'll take it to the wash, the only problem, three of these 'kids' are always hitting on me. Maybe i'll bring a bat next time.

if i have time myself.

GARFIELDKOOL · 11-01-2006, 08:07 PM

I do both. But I mostly go to a car wash and when I do, I get a good wax job behind it. Sometimes if I am in a hurry, I go to a laser wash, especially if it has been snowing, and it built up salt.

Yooch · 11-01-2006, 08:25 PM

I do both; it depends on if I have the time, mainly.

My husband handles the car stuff. He takes them to a car wash.

Brad Russ · 11-01-2006, 11:22 PM

I don't have a car, but if I did, I'd just save money, and let the rain take care of it. (I live in Oregon). LOL!!

Lamont · 11-01-2006, 11:36 PM

I live right alongside the Max tracks, which is sort of like a subway that's in the middle of the road. I have a yearly pass for it, so I just ride it whenever I need to get anywhere. Yesterday I was going to ride it, and someone from the road shot a gun into the max right around the same time I was going to be on it, and right at the stop that I usually go to. Thank goodness I found someone to give me a ride instead. Here's a picture of the max going through downtown Portland.
