just take it to the self carwash when ever you feel the need, only to spray down the under carridge. go to pep boys get some maguires quick detailer spray, and use that on the whole car. stuff works great. the first time it might be a bitch to get clean, but once you do every time it gets a little dirty(once or twice a week) spray it down and wipe it off. it will only take 15-20 min. as long as you maintain it. the trick is not to let it get too dirty. i hardly ever wash my car, just use this stuff. once in a while wax it in the summer. i can go strait to a car show in the spring, try this approach
