Question A question from aт alien about car wash type you use

friends, let me ask, how you take care after your cars in terms of washing, polishing, etc.?
whether you use automatic car washes, self-service or wash yourselves around the house?
is it wide spread to go to premium washes with expensive cosmetics? how much does it cost to clean a car inside and out and how often do you do it? do you use protective and restorative compounds, do you polish your cars?
i'm just curious, how car fans take care after their cars in the usa, because i spend in moscow 20-30 dollars per wash and do it every weekend..

Wish I hadn't gone to my local car wash yesterday.

Nice scratch in the driver side rear window.

I never let my car near a car wash. The only time I go to the hand car wash guys is to ask them to jet off with plain water my arches and alloys once in a while. It's quite amusing sometimes as they are so keen to clean my car and I tell them not to touch it!
