^PL, thanks!

Each car sees about 7,000 miles during the driving season. The 987S (approx. 44,000 miles- all mine) from mid April till mid October. The 993TT (approx. 54,000 miles- +20,000 mine) from early March till late November. Having hot water and a heated garage sure helps those early spring and autumn car washes.

It take me 2-2.5 hours just to wash my cars. Wheels alone are about 45 minutes. All the jambs get wiped out too. Working efficiently, not rushing, not wasting time. I use high quality towels, and do +95% of the drying with the leaf blower.

My cars only get used on nice weekend days. My typical drive is about 320 miles. My cars stay pretty clean, it's the bugs that fark me up. I try to wash each car monthly. Maybe twice if my daughters help me.

My cars are not garage queens, but are in mint condition. Not an easy balance.
