Re: Clean Your Own Car?

I also have a Karcher but wouldn't use it for washing the cars at home because that is not allowed.
I take my cars to a car wash once a year and might use a self-service washing bay in between if the cars are too dirty.

Re: Clean Your Own Car?

I also have a bucket and a sponge and have to bring full watering cans from the back garden. To clean the top of the car I open the side doors and stand on the sills.

I can't reach the middle of my car's roof either but there are these wonderful things called steps or even an upturned milk crate that make you taller. It is only a couple of times a year after all.

Re: Clean Your Own Car?

I used to clean my dad’s car. It was my chore. I loved every minute of it. Nowadays there’s a guy who comes round and he also cleans my car. He needs the money so I’m happy to help.

Only a couple of times a year that you wash your car?
You must be related to my husband.

In the past I have owned cars that I never cleaned at all. A dirty car is not something I worry about but I suppose I should say that I have lived in my house for over 40 years and I have never cleaned the windows in that time either. They are just unnecessary activities.

What? 40 years in a house and never once cleaned the windows?
Now you’re scaring me.
