was I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but I haven't cleaned my car for the past...oh...6 months :O

I guess with school, and delivering pizzas, it was getting a little sick on the inside. I was going to attempt it myself, but EVERY square inch was covered dough flour. It became appearant, after finding a 2 month old orange I "brought for breakfast" and an hour of cleaning, this was going to be a job that could only be handled by a professional.

I dropped it off at a local detail shop - 6 and half hours later, the xB was sitting there, looking new as ever Best 150 bucks I've ever spent - seriously.

 

How many miles a week do you put on your car driving? I'm kind of in a similar boat, i'm an insurance inspector. I drive 4-500 miles a week visiting peoples houses to perform inspections. My interior is getting pretty bad since I am living in my car 8+ hours at a time. My driver's door has started to squeak from all the opening and closing all day. I can't wait to get my beater nissan sentra on the road so I can keep my xB in good shape. I've had it a year and 3 months and it has over 20k miles on it.

 

Around 300 a week. I've been working in store alot lately, so the car has had quite a break 24k miles now, bought in Feb. 04.

 

**smiles** my car hasnt gotten that bad and i can pretty much guarantee it wont...but im not home that much so things do start getting stacked every once in a while...i hope i wont ever have to pay 150 to get it detailed though.

 

i think no matter what a car should be detailed every 6 months just to "freshen" everything up.... just my .02

 

well i am new to this "love my xB" thing...150 for someone to clean my car just seems like a lot....

 

Yeah, I drive my xB about 100 miles a week (back and fourth to school and work). AND I wash/ detail it every week.

So basically, my car is showroom detailed everyday that I drive it!

I went to a Scion dealership today with my sister (She is buying an xB I Identical to mine). I was ambushed by the scion staff because they liked my xB so much. when I told them that is was a year old, thier jaws dropped.

I detail cars on the side (mostly co-workers of my mother's) I have polished up some cars that had not been washed in a year!~

I had to refuse to work on one ladies car because she smoked so much in it that the windows were greasy!

 

how often do you all clean you car? mine gets cleaned 3-5 times a week depending on the weather and traveling. . . but of course, i work for a dealership and can have the guys clean it up while i am at work . . .
