I wash my rides myself!
Since I have many rides, P180, Eterno, DZire and now an Activa; I cannot keep washing them every day! So I have allotted days for washing them.
DZire is been washed twice a week. Once only from outside and once totally!
Same goes for both the bikes; once a week and now one more bike is included.
P180: Washed once a week or whenever feel so. (takes 30~45mins)
Once a month I wash totally in full mood! (takes 2~2.5hrs)
Honda ETERNO: Same as P180.
Honda ACTIVA: Donno anything how will I manage, she's the newest in our family.
DZire: Its washed twice a week; or more frequently if the car is Dusty; depends!!
I take more than 3hrs for washing (once a week!) mostly on friday coz my dad has an off that day; so I can take my own sweet time.
This includes:
Washing all the mattings;
Washing all the four mudguards from inside;
Washing the rim removing the wheel caps;
Opening the bonnet and wiping the dust on the engine and all;
cleaning the boot: This includes the boot matting, and space between the rearglass and the boot lid, where the dry leaves gets collected and leads to rusting;
Cleaning the interiors and the seats with wet cloth;
Cleaning the interior top with semi wet cloth; etc
I hardly use shampoo for DZire; because till the time I go to take water, the shampoo is drys off. Some times I use kerosene dipped rag; to remove black spots. They are more seen on Silver car; but it is done hardly in two months.
Rest of the time only outer wash, It takes around 1hr. This includes only exterior with tyres and nothing else, not even opening the door!
I have to take buckets of water from my house to the car(DZire) on the main road. That takes more time. For Bikes, I can wash them out side my house and once a month. inside the house in the corridoor, with pipes and all.
