Asbo's got it right, the company wagon, a beemer gets the odd machine wash for £2.90 as and when, I did have it valetted at work for about £40 because even I felt it was too dirty inside (blaming the kids this time)
Mistermog gets washed when dirty usually a pressure wash job, 5 stages for 5 quid including a wash wash. just last week I did a big job and out with the autoglym stuff, brought the body up lovely and used the autosol on the metal bits, like a new car, the wire wheels got a cursory treatment and I have traces of rust on the chrome rims, leather gets a wipe over, I have done 10k miles in the last 2 years and only first time since I had the car has it had the full treatment but it came up well, also car has been used in all weathers.
Only really dirty bit is the insides of the wire wheels, they need to come off for a really good clean, use a toothbrush on the spoke area but hey, the sun came out and the lure of the open road left all such thoughts in the garage

Being a POMMY down under, I enjoy the enviable reputation of the presumed "I only wash once a year brigade".
To keep my reputation intact I satisfy the unreasonable needs of my immediate neighbours, by taking "Ruby", to the Taree car wash.
Once there, I strip off and jump into the hood-less car.
I proceed slowly through the wash, standing up when the orange light comes on ( for a streak free wax and rinse) arms flaying in all directions, really enjoying the experience.
I can see daylight and proceed to the final multi jet spray and wipe, I bribed the attendant for a hot final and it gets the carpets sparkling clean, but a little soggy.
I too am sparkling clean. So is Ruby.
I drive onto the grass and open the doors, watering the fauna with 100 gallons of warm water.
This is better than taking "Ruby" to the local creek and standing in cold water, doing our ablutions. Yabbies biting my toes and mossies my bum.

Rubymorgan, you've been out in the sun too much (even though it's winter)

He's gone local Boshers! It happens to many in hot climes!!
