Costco $7
Damn, it’s $9 where I’m at. I miss the $20/month “unlimited wash” deal at Benny’s when I was in BR.

Drop it off before work at H2O Auto Spa for interior shampoo and vinyl/leather treatment and external wash, claybar, and polymer coating. Pick it up after work. 2 or 3 times a year.
I've been wanting to do their detail service, but I hear its like 3x the cost if you have pet hair.

What is your car wash routine?
Benny's. 14.95/month and I never ever have a dirty vehicle. I love it.

Wait for a heavy rain. Repeat.

That’s what Everett is for, his routine is his business as long as its clean when he’s finished

3 buckets - one for clean water, one for rinsing dirty rag, one for tires and rims. Use portable air to dry car
Posted on 8/21/19 at 7:19 am to lsu xman
When I have access to a driveway, spigot, and cover - two bucket wash w/ grit guard, dry, finish with Meguiara waterless wash and wax or a quick wax, then tire shine. Try to clay bar, polish, and seal twice per year.
Unfortunately I do not have a driveway, so lately it’s been a run through In & Out on Bonnabel then dry with Meguiar’s wash and wax. It makes my skin crawl knowing I’m tearing the paint up, but don’t have many other options right now.

I've always enjoyed doing my own detailing

Just got into it last year. Spent a lot of money on Chemical Guys products, vacuum, pressure washer etc.
Let my car get real dirty then detail the hell out of it. Sucks during the summer though.

$20 a month for endless wash with tire shine at Blue Wave. There's one on my way to work, and one on the way home.
So I hit it once a week. Twice if it rains in between.
There's a tag on my windshield so I don't even have to roll the window down. About every 3rd wash I vacuum it out. I'm pretty good about keeping the inside clean, never leave trash in it. So other than the random crap that gets on the floor mats, it stays clean on the inside.
