Do you wash it yourself or do you go to an automatic car wash. How much do you pay to get your car washed?

Wash myself. Probably once a month or so.

whenever it rains.

Actually about two or three times a year and I get a hand wax at the car wash for about $40 or so.

I park outside so it doesn't stay that clean anyway. It's "chick magnet" 1998 F-150, white, vinyl floors, roll up windows, 220K miles.

What does wax do for your car?

I think it protects the finish. My finish looks pretty good for a 15 year old car parked outside.

Not very often.
I have two cars I use regularly...probably have it waxed once a year.
I really don't care.

I pay 14 bucks for an automatic car wash. Is that reasonable or a lot?

Once a month or so.

I'm on the road so much I pretty much have given up on it being clean, so it's just a matter of how dirty.

The automatic washes here are $6-8. $14 seems like a lot.

Once a week. I can't stand a dirty car. I go to a car wash in winter, and wash it myself in summer.
