(quoted from post at 10:11:17 08/31/14) They must love you down at the car wash.
(quoted from post at 17:41:38 08/31/14) I'm not a woman, I'm not rich and I'm not an urbanite.
I do live in the burbs if that matters.
Automatic car wash costs $5.95 if I buy 15 gallons of gas.
Takes 4 minutes to go through and I'm on my way.
Why would anyone put down that kind of convienience?

$5.95 for 4 minutes? My God, thats $90 an hour for that "convenience".
Why would anyone put down washing your car at home when thats the alternative?

(quoted from post at 18:52:17 08/31/14) I defended the convienience of an automatic car wash. I did not put down washing your car at home.

The car wash is worth it in the cold of winter to remove salt and grime from your vehicle. No froze hose.

I don't see any use working for an hour to save $5.95. My time is worth way more than that.

If it takes you a hour to wash your car/truck, your argument could hold water, maybe. But before we get into the details of that, one has to wonder, what in god green earth makes it take you a hour to wash your vehicle? I'm not talking a detail or wax, just an equivalent wash than you would get if you spent the $5.95 at the car wash.
[i:58c616d013]My god, I cant believe people at arguing car washing at home vs. at the car wash. Please lord, make the rain stop soon, Im not sure I can take this anymore and the irony is just too thick...[/i:58c616d013]

(quoted from post at 08:38:27 09/01/14) Because for $5.95 your car isn't clean and all the areas that will cause it to rust out are not even touched.

Define "worth". Can you show me the ROI on that? No, really. Are you able to pencil that out or are you just guessing?
FWIW, I havent once, outside of work where a hose got forgotten, froze a hose. Not once. That fact right there could put a huge dent in your numbers seeing as how you only stated 2 things and one never happens....
Just saying....

4 minutes in the car wash versus 30+ minutes with a bucket and sponge. What's your time worth?

Yeah, but at least it's a new subject. We could be arguing Ford vs. Chevy or JD vs. IH... Or talking about electricity.

#1 You can't do an equivalent wash
#2 I'm not that broke or cheap to whine about $5.95.

So how long does it take to wash your vehicle by hand? How long to drain the water from the hose? And yes if I do not drag the hose up a hillside and let it drain it will freeze up in the winter.
And the car wash I use does the underside too. Do you wash the underside of your auto every time?
Also I always get wet when I wash my vehicle, esp my shoes.
And lastly I am a patriotic American who supports my local businesses. My local car wash is locally owned and uses no Chinese water.
(quoted from post at 12:50:28 09/02/14) Maybe it has something to do with what your pickup is for and what it means to you.
My pickup is just a tool I use to make a living.
For the last 20 years my tax lady would tell me when I had no more depreciation left on it and when it was time to buy a new one. Usually every 5 years.
I traded them in before they rusted.
Everything I do to my pickup is a tax deduction - oil changes, tires, maintenance, repairs, even washing it is deductable.
So I never touch them. Just go to the dealer for oil changes, etc and run it through the car wash when it's dirty.
For other folks their pickup means something else and they want to take real good care of them, wash them by hand, spray under them with oil, wax them, etc.
That's cool with me. But it's not what I do.
It's not a one size fits all kind of deal.
(quoted from post at 21:58:31 09/03/14)
The oil stays on the inside of rocker panels, cab corners, inside of fenders etc. where rust grows from the inside out.
I suggest you pull your head out of where it is and take a look.
