    wash at home, usually public places people wash mud of trucks and the rocks can mess your paint up badly.
    When people ask me if my car is turbo, I can finally say yes muthafuxa it is.

    ALWAYS wash mine at home.

    No beat. Only pamper.

    Lately I've been washing at home, the express washes just don't do a good job unless you go to the ones with the things that actually touch your car, but then scratches are abundant so meh I just do it in the driveway.

    It's always nice spraying my sister's car with the hose to piss her off too ;)

    Nothen beats doing it by hand, you just can't get as clean as washing it by hand at any automatic place. I only do cleanings at the quarter places in the winter due to temperatures.

    By hand 80%, then Cactus Car Wash in Buckhead the other 20%, plus I am cheap and only get the 5.95 wash. I usually will touch the car up a few days later with a hand wash.

    No Driveway, but apt complex has car wash area

    All by hand at home, or in the winter time at my shop after hours. And i just got a buffer so waxing will become much easier.

    I wash my own car. The only times I've ever done other wise was the few years I lived in an apartment.
