I did a couple car washes myself after buying all the equipment - power washer, soaps, buckets, brushes, etc. etc. I don't see my self continuing to do this. It's physical labor that i don't enjoy. If someone enjoys it, great. But I don't. So how/where do I go to wash my car? There's a place by me that is a "Hand Car Wash." The car goes through a typical car wash bay but apparently no brushes or anything "touch" the car. Water is sprayed and soap is applied. And then some guys will manually apply the soap with cloths and dry the car themselves. Something like that. I don't have PPF or any other coatings. Just raw. I'm not a paint/detail snob like some. Just want a decently clean car regularly and don't want to fck up the paint badly. Thoughts?

Take it to your Porsche dealer and have the wash it.

Bonus ... you get to enjoy the cappuccino machine and warm cookies while you wait.

Thoughts on what? If you dont want to wash it yourself then either leave it dirty or hire someone to do it or run it though a car wash

There is a 10 page thread on this not far below this one and safe to say, the topic has been thoroughly run through the wash!

Get a ceramic coating and then just use a rinseless wash every other week. I barely do it once a month, but it only takes me about 15 minutes. I go to do it yourself bays with Sonax and wheel brush for the wheels.

I love washing my 911. Wash a full-size truck for a few years and your perspective will change. But yeah just find a good local guy to do it. Hell, pay someone to come to your house and do it. For basic washes, detailers are a dime a dozen.

Find a good PPF installer and wrap the whole car, then have it ceramic coated, washing will become a thing of the past. I’ve gone over a year without having to wash mine, everything blows or wipes off, no scratches, easy. True story.

And If you go on Saturday morning’s it free breakfast too, but a bit busier but you can meet the rest of the local gang.

How to tell us you don't actually drive your car without telling us you don't drive your car 🙄

Bugs, road grime, rain spots, etc... Do not come off with a simple blow or wipe regardless of your PPF or Ceramic coating.

Realistically if you don't like washing your car, you either need to hire a professional to do it or you need to be ok with micro scratches, swirls, and other flaws that present themselves after frequent automated car washes. Those are the only two options.

I've always loved washing my cars, sounds like OP is just lazy as the 911 is the easiest car to wash I've ever had. If you don't take pride in your ride then drive it dirty and be done with it.

Only car I've had any easier is the wife's Boxster!

Yep. It's a 911, not a Chevy Suburban. Go get it ceramic coated and give it a quick hand wash every couple weeks. Great opportunity to find chips, scratches & dings.
Or...Just hire a mobile detailer!

I'm not sure the OP was serious...

Lazy? Wtf? He doesn't enjoy it...why should he do it? Nothing to do with lazy? Lot of homeowners out there don't mow their own lawns...they are all lazy too huh?

I agree. I have both and still need to wash.

30 minutes using a no rinse PPF product. Still physical, but less time...
