Whereas I venture that the person who does not clean their car likely carries those same habbits to other areas of their life. Might not have a tiddy clean house. Might not be very organized or scheduled in their life. Might be habitually late to meetings or appointments, etc.
Granted I am not a scientist, but in my dealings with friends and coworkers this theory has proven true countless times.

what a load of crap ...
With owning a business, having a wife, 3 children and a 4-floor house, it's impossible to keep up with everything...
-My clients get great 'clean' service
-I'm usually home every evening so I see my wife and kids daily
-My house is impeccable...
The car is the first thing that's left over ... I need to wash it now, I know, but december is always extremely busy for me.
So far for your correlation ...
PS: have you been able to calculate the R-square, and have you checked for multicollinearity? Were the residuals normally distributed (maybe you need to log-transform your dependent variable) and can you exclude heteroscedasticity? Furthermore, I advice you to run partial residual plots on all independent variables to make sure all correlations are linear. If not, include squared error terms or interaction effects...
edit: OK, maybe there is a correlation.... I might just be an outlier...
