Wash your own ride


Pretty clean for a six year old van :)

If you wash your own car by hand twice a month instead of using a car wash, you will not only save $240/yr (assuming an average of about $10 per wash) but the car will be cleaner too. You will be amazed at how much filth a drive through car wash will miss. Wax it yourself too by the way. A hand wax job will look much better than the drive-through hot wax does. You get a workout too (and lets face it, most of us need one). It only takes about an hour from start to finish, less if you skip the wax.

Incidentally, use Turtle Wax bug and tar remover after you wash the car. The stuff works great. Really gets that ground-in gunk off the paint.
