Try and Wash Your Car Yourself and Avoid the Car Wash to Save Costs.

Postby Nsikan » 19 Nov 2023, 03:03

One thing that car owners spend money on is washing of their cars. I have been spending so much to wash my car since I visit the car wash at least once a week.

But you know what? I decided to try and washing the car by myself yesterday. Lo and behold, I was able to finish washing the car both the interior and the exterior.

I made up my mind to spare a little time to wash my car myself and save the $3 I spend per session in the car wash.

What do you think? Do you wash your car by yourself? Does washing your car by yourself save money?

My dad calls me every weekend to come help him wash his car. I doubt the man has ever patronized a car wash.

I don't see any big work in washing cars that people have to pay regularly for. It is okay for rich people but not average people.

This is a great idea. But we live on a housing estate with 24 hour security where the poor security guards earn peanuts. So the whole community finds odd jobs to enable them to make a little extra money. Many of us pay them to wash our cars instead of giving them money. This way they feel they've earned the money.

That's fine. But on days your pocket is tight, you could wash your cars by yourself and save that little one for something else.

My pastor has to go to the car wash regularly because he doesn't have time to wash his car himself. I know how much budget he makes for washing car every weej. If you have hands and legs, wash your car yourself and don't spend unnecessarily.

As a kid, o washed my father's car till I left the house. My dad has a small boy living with him that helps him wash the car. Car wash services is not necessary even when the car is just out from the mechanic workshop. It is washed at home.

People in my place incorporate washing of cars into the job roles of their drivers. They don't pay for it.

I agree with you, I see some drivers go to borehole stands to wash their bosses car. You would be saving money this way

My husband washes our cars, we have two and washing them in a car wash service can be expensive for us. We have a well that supplies water to the house and garden, so we don't pay for water.

If we make it practice to wash our car on daily basis, then by this way we'll save good money because, by doing this our car will remain neat and clean and we don't need to go for service.

During the rainy seasons in my country, you need to clean and wash your car almost everyday because of the mud and stagnant water prevalent during that season.

I think your husband is running in the right direction washing the cars. Taking 2 cars to the car wash in a space of 3 days can be really expensive.
