I doubt that I have been through more than 10 car washes since buying my first car in 1962. I don't like the swirl marks, the fact that dirty water is used to spray under the car, and who knows what chemicals are in there. It takes 30 minutes once a week to wash a car, it's good exercise, and shows you have pride in your ride. I polish and wax them twice a year which might be an overkill but I like them to shine. The most recent car I purchased new came with a ceramic coating and with that it only requires a touch up once a year but if I would have had the choice I would have not let them put the ceramic on the car, they do it ahead of time as a gimmick to get more dollars out of the buyers. If you're healthy enough, just wash it yourself and todays polish and waxes are easy to apply.
