Hell yea they look better clean, I'm about to throw up because of the salt that I've had on my car the last couple weeks. Clean it everytime there's a clear day, just so it can get coated in salt again. (can't wait for spring) I know there's a few people on here that wash their cars every day, or every 2 days. I usually wash about once a week. Try to keep her waxed up good. Most ppl I know wash at a when needed basis.

i dunno.. car wash a block from my house... 19.99 a month (credit card payment) you get a nice little card that says the color of your car and your plate info.. i used to work there and my buddies tell me they loose 2-3 gs a week from the card program... especially since one car was alone is almost 8$

Boooo snow, we're supposed to get 6-12 as well, can't wait for spring, once spring/summer hits, I'll be washing at least twice a week, gotta keep the bitch clean and shiney, in the off months like fall and early spring(rain season) I only wash about once a week. COME ON SPRING

Ride looks much nicer when it clean in and out. Wax it 2c a month, shampoo the ruggs a bunch of times, endless carwashes then it rains or snows as soon as you go do it. Feels great each time.

It is such a good feeling after you wash, wax, and clean you interior...even if it rains right away...
