Drive thru at Shell, Benny's, a couple buckets hand wash or a 4 stage wash with clay, ceramics, etc.

Frequency and cost also.

I went to a $5 drive thru maybe 6 months ago. My car took an absolute beating.

Hand wash only. Wet it, wash it, rinse it off and dry the surfaces to keep water spots down, especially in this hot weather.

Oh, and do the door trims and completely detail the interior with vacuuming, wiping all surfaces down, clean any spots on the carpet and upholstery, etc.

Crack open the hood and wipe the big surfaces down and remove any leaves that accumulate in the grill by the windshield.

Use the In & Out Carwash at Bonnabel and Vets. $10 wash with vacuum included. Wipe down dash and all with armor all. Spray the tires.

Alternate interior/exterior each week in the warmer months for both our cars.

For exterior:
Pressure washer with foam cannon
Hand dry
Spray and wipe with quick detailer.

Interior:
Vacuum
Spray and wipe all surfaces
Throw away approximately 3 bags of trash (wife’s car only)

I let the warden’s daughter wash it for me.

I supervise.

She is overwhelming evidence of a God, and that that God loves his sons.

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.

Between those, quick hand washes as needed.
