All winter long I just go to the touchless drive through car wash to wash the truck. In the summer I wash on the driveway with SOAPY water. (I don't wash on the street.)

I'm also vain and enjoy a sparkly clean truck.

Reduces drag thereby increasing fuel effeciency, so a clean car is actually good for the environment.

Geez, you guys all sound like such rednecks The so-called tree huggers are probably going to end us saving all our butts, and the butts of our children's children, because of our ingrained and thoughtless habits of mis-using, over-using and abusing this beautiful world we live in.

A clean car will last longer, especially if the dirt on it contains corrosive salt from winter driving. And of course, who likes to drive a dirty car? Not me. When my car is clean, it feels so much better to drive it. And I think the care feels happier too

Guess we're lucky to have a wash bay in our parkade. All the soap used goes in to the waste water system, which is then sent to the water treatment plant before being dumped into the river.
