Fortunately, Mother Nature does it for me. But she isn’t very reliable.
If I may ask, how much time does that take per month?3 to 6 times per week, subscription ...... I dry it off, wipe the inside each time ...... I like a clean vehicle, I am not worried about the $30 per month ..... It makes my happy
We will detail ours out twice a year, inside out and wax, Camper gets the same treatment. On our trip this past weekend the folks next to us commented on our "new" camper... I laughed and said it was a 2020 and we have already had to replace the tires.about twice a year

Sounds like BS to me. Like anything on the internet, go to the source. I found that the car was not just 'dirty', it was:... Per google:
MythBusters found that a clean car gets better gas mileage than a dirty car. In their experiment, a dirty car got 24 mpg, while a clean car got 26.4 mpg. ...
I've also found Mythbusters to be very lacking in scientific process, controls, and conclusions. Their common failure is to conclude that because they couldn't do something (under their conditions), that the thing can't be done (maybe it can, under other conditions?), and they claim busted.Dirty car covered in chunky mud: 24 mpg
Maybe even better if the car is waxed so the air can slide over it easier ?.......

MythBusters found that a clean car gets better gas mileage than a dirty car. In their experiment, a dirty car got 24 mpg, while a clean car got 26.4 mpg. This was due to the clean car having a smoother, more aerodynamic surface, allowing air to flow more efficiently.

My kids give me a gift card from Moo-Moo car wash and I go when needed. Cheap wash $7.00.I am sick of going to the car wash and having them push hard to put me on a monthly unlimited subscription . . .
It just isn't that dirty . . . or I'm a cheap ass slob I guess.
BTW I washed it yesterday. . . it is raining today.
