I've been washing mine weekly because of the winter road salt here in Illinois. We'll get plenty of bugs later. When it's cold, I'll pull into one of those you wash it stalls that has a power rinse. I'll throw 4 quarters in the slot and that gives me 2 minutes of spray...no soap, enough to blast out the wheel wells and flush the bottom off. You could do the same with your hood & windshield with just a quick rinse of the rest of the car. Squeege the glass. Drive it home wet and touch up the water spots with a damp towel.
Start off with a good coat of wax... makes dirt and bugs hose off easier.

In Lake Forest on Lake Forest Dr., there is one east of Trabuco a mile or so on the right. In Mission Viejo by Home Depot on by Mission Hospital.

there is a brushless moble station on Lake Forest drive right off the 5 freeway,

i go to that one once in a while and it works but dosnt do an amazing job

there are these mexicans that come by my work
i take it to them nce every few months they do it for $20 inside and out and an amazing job i must say
I took my car to this car wash today. I could have done a better job cleaning my car using the window squeejee next to the pumps... Urgh... I guess I'm just going to have to wash it myself every week.
