I have been a car owner and driver for just about 40 years, and in that time I have never, ever put a car through a car wash machine, or ever used a car wash/pressure wash at a garage.
I certainly can't claim to be a regular car washer, but I am not averse to giving the car a quick spruce up if the weather is kind.

Nobody has ever washed any of my white vans. I did once have to wipe the guano off one of the windscreens after foolishly parking it under a cherry tree.

I don't do it that often but I always do it myself. I take the time to wash under the wheelarches and other mud traps and check the thing all over for any corrosion or anything coming loose or in need of attention. I doubt a car wash would be that thorough.

Wash my own for various reasons.
I like to. I even wash my daughters or daughter in laws on occasions, usually sneak out and wash them without asking them...gives them a surprise.
I'm tight. I hate paying a tenner for someone to do something I enjoy...plus I'm tight.
It' a good opportunity to check tyres, pressures, levels etc.
I hate giving money to cash only services, car washes, taxis etc...i doubt 50% of it gets declared.
As said earlier, i dread to think of the chemicals that get used...many of the car washes I see, the concrete or paving is eaten away where the acid has washed off.
