If time is of the essence, though shalt visit a car wash
You don’t have the time to wash your car yourself or the money to spend on adequate supplies? Have teenagers do the work for you at a hand car wash for 20 to 30 dollars. Although the cost will add up quickly if you use them often.

Also, note how carefully car wash employees work. All too often, a carelessly dropped chamois is simply picked up and used again though it’s covered in mud. Unless you find the world’s most conscientious car washers, the results will probably never be as stunning as if you had done it yourself.

However, the more competent facilities are equipped for in-depth washes and can repair small scratches and give your engine compartment new life. Again, be prepared to pay more for these extra services.
