How Much You Pay for a Car Wash

Well guys, here is my justification to get myself a pressure washer and start washing my own cars again. Cant trust anybody with your vehicle these days. It's sad.

I just checked online and looks like the new steering wheel is about $780.00. I hope they can get me a new wheel. I would not want to a re-wrapped wheel.

 

Good luck with the outcome. That would seriously have pissed me off.

 

Thanks.

 

$0. The fewer people touching my truck the better.

 

Only 1 carwash in town that can accommodate my tire size. Pretty annoying..
usually runs about 30$.

 

$3 car wash with $3 for wheel and tire shine. Works well. Free vacuum.

Full service hand wash is $11. Guess only thing in Chicago that is cheap compared to rest of the Country.

 

That's crazy cheap!

 

I hope they don't do this to your Lexus.

 

I pay $20 each wash at a place in town. I take my own soap, bucket and brush. A lot of people here use the stall brushes to scrape off winter slush and dirt...making them like sandpaper; hence the reason for me taking some supplies.

I spray the whole truck down, spray off their brush and fill up my bucket. So I don't feel cheap, I let the timer run and allow the brush soap to drip into my bucket (when it works). While this is happening, I use my brush over the whole truck.

Doing it this way takes longer but I think it's worth $20.

All of my trucks/SUV's have only ever gotten a good wash twice a year, by me, by hand. Once in the spring and once in the fall. I clay bar, wax, and seal at that time as well.

I spray the truck off frequently, usually whenever I have the hose out for some reason. If it gets unusually dirty from being offroad or a nasty road trip I will run it through the touchless down the road at it's cheapest setting that includes undercarriage wash.

It's a truck, I use it as such. But I'm also a stickler for rust, oxidation, and corrosion.

 

Touch-less car wash by my house, $8 gets underbody, double pre soak, double rinse, spot free rinse. For $10 you can get all that and a spray wax and bug prep. Both include blower. Then go home and dry it the rest of the way with my own towels and use a quick detailed if needed.

This morning I have to wash my wife’s car. I’ll try air dry with a leaf blower.

 

It's this bazooka.

 

I always dry mine with a leaf blower.

 

Oh and if you RainX all the glass it helps with drying also.

 

And I have this bad boy as a backup and for an area that needs precision strikes.

 

Cool! I'll have to go get some.

 

I put it on all the glass even my cap and moon roof.

 

This one?

 

Yup

 

Do you use it inside as well or just outside?

 

Just outside.

 

When I use my compressor to blow something this tip works better than anything I have found.
The only thing is it really sucks a bunch of air.
But I have a 60 gallon compressor.

 

That's really nice.

 

$3 on hot water pressure wash pretty much every week, more often during winter. Hand wash a few times during the summer.
