| For 100 baht (@ $2.70) my S gets a hand wash, hand dry and a machine vacuum...plus a tire polish. Even the trunk (boot) gets cleaned. A mostly girl Thai team works on the car for about 40 minutes. They can do the SLK in about half the time. |

| Ah, the good life. I'm the sole car washer in this family. I'm good about keeping three out of our four vehicles cleaned and functioning. The Toyota pickup always comes last. I average two car washes a week. The SKL when it's dirty and the weather permits. Sometimes, twice a week. I don't mind. I LOVE a clean vehicle.

| I wish I could wash them myself but we're not allowed in the apt. complex we live in. There are no outside water faucets. I'm left with going to a hand wash place every couple of weeks each vehicle. Cars don't get super dirty here in the desert unless it rains, then it only rains long enough to make the cars look like crap!

| Southeast asian girls has these silly red blush going that makes them look like they are back in the 80's. But anyway, back to topic. I haven't washed my car in over a month, still looks extremely clean from far away, up close is a different story, I was going to wash it yesterday but got a little cold in the evening and now we have a blizzard outside so, will wait until the weather gets better.

Only way to fixed that problem, limit them to fast food once a month and teach them how to cook, microwave does not count.
