Do you wash and detail YOUR OWN car?
A binary poll.....
Do you wash / detail your own car or have someone do it for you?

No driveway or water access. Would much rather do it myself, though.

Have had a couple Mexican's with their own wash equipment, including their own spot free water tank. They spend about 45 minutes, car comes out flawless everytime, 20 bucks give em 5 tip. I can make more than 25 dollars in an hour well worth the time for them.
ps, they tell me they have to work a full week to make 50 dollars in Mexico, no wonder they want to come over. Car wash service to your home or office, quite popular out here.

For those that do both.....
Vote on your predominant option....
BTW, I cross posted on E90post.....big difference between the members on both boards.
Once I get a good sampleset, I will post the differences.

I used to get it detailed, but after getting a water filtration system, I'm doing it myself since it is a) saves me so much time on washing and 2nd) no more water spots.
