Sorry for my comment. However I have a tough time with anyone saying their car looks just fine without washing. I've driven virtually every section of the country in all kind of weather and have never experienced a car staying clean for more than a couple days. I guess its all relative.Even my recent purchase, just 2 years old now, has been washed only twice. Once a year ago (I got car wash coupons for Christmas), and when it went to the dealer for 'free' (included) warranty service.
I don't have any disdain ("distain"? I clean any stains!) for my vehicle. I have the oil changed at the recommended interval, check the fluids, tires, etc.
It looks just fine. It's not dirty, it just does not seem to need much washing to look nice. It's not like you could pick it out in a parking lot, and point and go 'ewww'.
So that last statement you made is actually quite rude.

I believe my position partially comes from an impromptu car inspection during a sales meeting early in my career. The manager walked everyone out to the parking lot and went over each car. Most of the vehicles were a mess. The berating tirade that ensued would certainly not be tolerated today.
Fortunately I had completely gone over the car before the meeting so I was used as an example of how to take care of the equipment. One guy was so ticked off he suggested the boss check my call reports because a car that looked that good could not be visiting construction sites.
Nit picking attention to these kind of details served me well in my working career. Now not so much. DW has been known to throw me the broom at the mere mention of a dust bunny.
