I'm in an apartment. I have to go to a car wash. No hookup for a hose or anything.

Depends on when it needs it and where I am and how much money is in the bank account!

My truck won't fit in an automatic car wash. Has to be washed by hand...which pretty much means me.

We have a guy that stops by on mondays at my work and asks who wants a car wash. He has a truck that has all his supplies, including water. I LOVE him and the service he provides. He's been cleaning my bosses cars for years and has done an excellent job getting my dirty nasty truck all spiffy again.
I gladly pay every few weeks, maybe once a month to have him wash it where I can see and not have to worry about people going through it and the equipment breaking things off.

neither....hubby does it. He either does it at home in the driveway or he takes it to one of those places that you feed quarter into the machine and get to use the brush and hose and such. Back when he was deployed I would take it once a month to have it done and detailed and cleaned on the inside but since he has been back he does it now.

I tend to let God wash my car. And He tends to think it doesn't need it very often.

We live in an apartment so we can't do it here. In the summer, we go to my in-laws house and do it in the driveway there. In the winter we go to the car wash.

I hardly ever wash my car. Maybe once a year, at home with a bucket of soapy water and a water hose for rinsing.
Last year we were in a drought and there were water restrictions in our county. If you didn't have your own well or spring you couldn't wash cars.

Our cars haven't been washed in about 2 years.
Seriously.
The rain (and snow) does a decent enough job of washing them. Plus, we get them oiled in the fall (rustproofing), so we don't want to wash off the oil.
I do wash the windows by hand at the gas station, though, and in the winter I sometimes clean the headlights and tail lights.

LOL...I can't wait to move out your way! The snow in the city is what makes our car dirty!

same here...I usually get mine done every other month - he does detailing inside and out.
It really is a great service.

I used to wash my Jetta by hand, but my new car is bigger (and taller!) not to mention my back is all wonky so I run it through the car wash when I have the spare change for it. :D

We live in a townhouse and aren't sure if we are allowed to wash our car in our driveway or not so we take it to a do it yourself car wash. At the end of this month we are moving to a house with a garage so we will start washing it at our place. When we move again at the end of the year we will be living in a townhouse with a garage. The complex doesn't allow anyone to use soaps while they wash their cars, but we will still wash it with water at our place. If it is really dirty we will bring it to a do it yourself car wash.
