Just curious, I own several cars & a F-150.
I wash my own vehicles.
Some of my friends take their cars to the detail shops, but I like to wash my own.
How do you guys feel ?

Wash my own...thats why im waiting for spring. I stocked up on a bunch of wash,wax, claybar all kinds or crap to clean the hell out of my truck. I hate seeing it this dirty. I might just run up to the self carwash and do a quick was to get the salt off for now.

I wash mine by hand. I will not let anyone else wash them.

I have been out there @ the car wash in the middle of winter before washing my car while I can't feel my hands. :lol:

I wash all of my own by hand, only thing I don't is my stroker, and that is only to wash the salt off in the winter, or when it is too cold to do at home. I am very picky, I only let my bro wash his 02 GT under my supervision.

he was pulling it in the wash and was reving the piss out of it then dumped it into 1st and she barked and went sides and he almost ended up hitting 2 workers and smashing it into the side of the wash

I usually was mine but occasionally use one particular place when I'm lazy. They do really good work with mits and don't drive the car in, I do.

Always by hand :) and it's easy because it's a car compared to my last 2 vehicles which were explorers.
