Daily Question: Tues. March 23 2010

[pookie-poo]

Hmmmmm...my car is 18 years old. It gets washed when it gets dirty enough that I'm embarrassed by how filthy it is. Probably twice a year, on average. Usually at the end of winter, to wash off the road salt and dirt, and maybe once again in the summer.

I'm about the same MAYBE twice a year ...

I did run the truck through the do it yourself car wash earlier this year to get the salt off but I haven't touched the truck box ummm since last summer-ish. The box gets dirty and since I haul so much landscaping material in it its hard to keep clean. I'm probably better in keeping the inside quasi clean. But once again when landscaping starts I keep lots of equipment and plus I stash plants inside too so getting dirty is inevitable...

The megane gets cleaned at least once a week, if blaine can be bothered its every otherday but only because in a car dealership and does it on his luncg or throws his keys at the valeters and gets them to do it

aside i do have a friend that washes his car EVERY day

We used to wash and wax the RV and car EVERY WEEK by hand!

Now we do it MAYBE twice a year - though we're not on the road anymore. She's collected a lot of sap on the roof and we really really really need to do it.

The car? Well... I'd say once a month. We have a drive-through car wash we really like. It costs $15 for the full treatment, including the hand dry (but not a hand wax). Gary just can't do much physically these days, and washing the car is something that would trigger an attack.
