Never.
How did you get Honda to comply? I figure you made sure it went in dirty so you could tell it came back unwashed?Some years back I ran my '95 Civic through the local car wash a few times, but that is it. My 2017 Accord EX-L V-6/6MT has only been hand-washed by myself, mostly with rinseless washes. The Honda dealer gave me free car wash cards when I used to take the Accord in for an oil change, but there is no way I could bring myself to do that to the only car I ever bought brand new
But yet in some parts of Canada they practically pave the roads with salt in the winter.Never. Haven't been through an automated car wash in at least 10 years.
I use the 2 pails and a hose method on the driveway.
The problem here is it rains every few days for about half the year so the roads are usually messy. So we don't wash our cars a lot during those 6 months. The good news is there is almost never salt on the roads so there's no salt to wash off anyway.
When we lived on the prairies we washed our cars during the winter at a spray it yourself place. We could wash (meaning spray, wipe and spray again) both cars in about an hour. Then, the 2 pails and a hose on the driveway method for the rest of the year.
That's mostly an Eastern Canada thing. It's too cold on the prairies for salt to do much good (though they don't seem to know that in Winnipeg). And Canada has a West coast too. Our winter weather is similar to Seattle or Portland. There is almost no salt used here.But yet in some parts of Canada they practically pave the roads with salt in the winter.
