Does Anyone Wash Their Car at Home Anymore?

Truth be told, my car is always loaded up with soccer balls, karate gear, baseball gloves, and jackets in case the weather abruptly changes (I won't even bring up the garbage the kids "forget" to take out). Just emptying it can be a bear! But I will press on next time!

That's my two cars. Except I have an (almost) 3 year old. I find pacis, dried fruit snacks, cheerieos (and DD hasn't eaten Cheerieos in forever), misc toys, shoes extra diapers/pull-ups (DD is now potty trained)......it's is a bear.

DD has been off the bottle for over a year and the other day we found an old bottle (growing a lovely science experiement) in the cargo area of the SUV (hidden in a pocket).

We only wash our cars at home during the warm months of the year. We usually pull the cars up in the yard, so that the water soaks into the grass rather than goes directly down the drain.

We definately wash our cars at home in the summer months. In the fall and spring, I take them to a self wash bay. In the winter I go through the automatics. It's a really good way to get that undercarriage cleaned up during salt season.

I'll be washing my van out today. It's suppose to reach 78 degrees, so I'll be sweating and washing this morning.

I go to the car wash. They use recyled water and throughly clean out the inside and vaccuum the inside of my Highlander.

Between the water conservation issues and my not wanting to handwash my vehicle, it's worth it to pay the money for someone else to do it every other month.

I always wash, wax and vacuum mine at home...I do a much better job than any car wash can.
