I drive about 400 miles per week, and my car gets pretty grimy. I cant stand my car to be overly dirty, inside or out. Plus, seems like I all too frequently follow someone who is leaking something. I used to wash my cars personally weekly, pre kids, beer in tow, tunes blaring..now, the hand wash detailer in the garage of my office gets the honor. Expensive, but worth the time and money.

I paid someone here in HK for around 25 USD a month and they clean the windows and rims for me everyday except on Sundays and Public Holiday. As for the body I think they only wash it like once a week and doesn't really do a good job so I need to go and get it professionally done every 2 months. The main problem here in HK is the dust and grime.

My car is Titanium Silver, so in the summertime it usually looks clean all the time, except for the wheels.

I wash, or actually the company garage keeper washes, it about once or twice a month.

Sounds great guys. Here in Sweden we have a lot of snow during the winter seison so... you need to clean your car very often. In finland to, right skaffa?
