So am I going to be the first to get a set of these for mine?
I just guarantee that it will rain or we will get a dust storm off the Palouse in 24 hours.Every car forum I’ve been apart of has a similar thread about ‘How do you wash your car?’ New Defender, Alfa 4C, if you want to see some really some in depth dissertations backed up by some post doctorate double-blinded thesis research head over to the Porsche forums.
With that being said, I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of car detailing and washing. Pressure washer with foam gun attachment. Separate rinse bucket for my microfiber scrub brush, and an electric blower to dry the car off followed by a quick spritz with a quick detail spray. Sounds like overkill but it’s actually pretty efficient and I enjoy it. My wife is normally so excited about her clean car she’s celebrate by driving through the biggest puddle she can find within 24 hours….
I would never use a car wash in the UK. The thought of the recycled water worries me with suspected solids carry over. Spent all my working life in the water and waste water industry so only me washes my vehicles.I enjoy washing my cars. I still wash my children's cars. Few occasion I used car wash maybe because it got too cold outside. Otherwise, I wash them every time.

The only person who washes my cars is me, I wouldn’t entertain any car wash site (in the UK). A car detailer yes, but not even a hand car wash…when was the last time they rinsed the mitt ?? Scratches aplenty me thinks.
Like Andiamo, I am also a bit of an amateur car detailer and will spend a few hours cleaning my vehicles. I find it quite relaxing and satisfying.
I use a jet wash with a foam gun on the whole car including the underneath and wheel arches. Keeps that dreaded salt away.
For you guys who live in the areas where salt/brine solution is used why don’t you treat the underside of your vehicles.
Something like Lanoguard is perfect for covering everything and isn’t a think sticky gloopy mess that hides rust. It’s pretty easy to apply with a hand spray and takes about an hour, apply a new coat every 12 months !!
