My wife got on my case last week because she says I wash my car "Too damn much". LOL I like to keep my cars clean, and my windows nice and clear. Hate rain spots. Hate dirt on my cars. I let the interior go a few weeks before I vacuum it out, but I wash my Toyota Camry pretty much every week! My older Traverse gets washed every 2 to 2.5 weeks still even though it's 13 years old now.
My wife will let her Malibu go months on end without a car wash. I actually get sick of looking at it being so dirty and end up taking it to the car wash myself after about 3 months of her dirtying it up! I don't think she has taken it to the wash herself since 2022!
Winter months I spend money at car washed. Most of the time I pay $14 at the gas station car wash, and I dry it off myself, and apply tire wet. About once every 4-5 weeks I take it to the "professional" car wash and spend about $30 with tip on getting it washed, add the hot lava wax, and vacuumed out. June through September I usually wash it myself.
Between Spring, and Fall, about once a month I apply ceramic detailer to the Camry to give it a nice glossy shine and looking like new. I get compliments on how it looks a lot by strangers when I'm out.
