Car Wash

How often do you wash your car? Living in the midwest, during fall ad winter I know I need to wash my car often to avoid corrosion due to salt build-up. But during summer, I tend to neglect and put off washing my car even though I can legibly and clearly write my name using my finger on the hood. With the good weather, I tend to do my errands and enjoy being out and going to the car wash always gets pushed at the least of my priorities. Finally, this morning I was able to swing by the car wash before they got busy and my car was able to get its much needed "shower". I paid $7 for the basic car wash, my boyfriend has a membership with the same car wash but I do not find it very practical as I only drive around town. Now during winter is when he gets to maximize the use of his membership. Which gives me an idea that a year's worth of car wash membership is a good birthday gift.

I used to wash the car every saturday while we were out yard saling. Don't drive anymore so I can delete that chore from my list.

Oh wow, but I am sure you do not have the crappy weather that we have here. The weather here can take its toll on the car's exterior.

During winter, the city maintenance would put out salt to prevent icy roads. This splashed to the car especially on the undercarriage.

@Raine38 i remember a balikbayan saying that's what rock salt is for, unlike here, we use it while cooking.

If you live in a place where it rains a lot, let nature perform the car wash!

True that! Unfortunately here in the midwest, we can have all the weather from four seasons in a matter of days. There was one time we had all the seasons in a week!
