How long does a car wash take?
I just got a new car and want to keep it shiny and clean. I can get a monthly car wash pass that costs about $25 per month. But maybe I should save the money and wash the car every week myself? I am worried about the time commitment, though. How long does it take to wash a car?

Congratulations on your new car! Those monthly car wash passes are very convenient, but you’re right—$25 per month can start to add up. Of course, time is money too, so it depends on what matters to you most.
The average car wash will only take about 7 minutes. The average time to wash a car yourself will be about 45 minutes. So the odds are that you will use the monthly pass more than cleaning the car by hand. Either way you go about it, taking care of your vehicle is always a good thing.
