Tips on cleaning for apartment dwellers?
I think there should should be some sort of official thread for how to keep your car clean when you live in an apartment. I know I find it difficult to keep my car clean now that I don't have a private garage, driveway and water hose.
Any ideas from my fellow apartmentites? |

I don't live in an apartment, but you can go to a car wash.
There are some in my area for $6-10 they hand wash and clean the interior also. The only thing I do at home is wax the car. |

I also live in an apartment. I usually just take it to Car Spa or go hose it down myself at those "self" wash thingies. Insert two dollars worth of quarters, get 10 minutes of usage from their sprayer/foam brush/etc.

You could drop it off at Sherry's dad's house and let "him" clean it while you and Sherry went out for ice cream.

But saying the above I usually go self car wash, and go to the hand wash one when the car really needs a good cleaning on the inside. |

I have got washing the Yaris Lb down to a science at the do-it-yourself wash, I can get a wash rinse and wax for $2.00, This is possible by standing on one side of the car in the middle and spraying from front to back (and vise-versa) doing the top at the same time.
