Default How many people wash their cars before they go?

I was just curious because you know the whole way up there you will have picked up bugs, road debris and such. I was debating on whether I was going to wash mine before hand. Even though I know that there is going to be a hose setup to wash cars when we get there.

Yeah...it doesn't make sense to wash before the drive...but I just can't stand it! She's got to be clean!

I have to wash my car, or else Lovetodrive would make fun of me tomorrow morning . When we were all under my car in the middle of the winter changing differential and transmission fluid, Mike was the only one to mention how dirty my wheels were

I know it's pointless to wash my car and then drive 600 miles on the highway, but I can't stand when my car is dirty. So, I washed it, plan on washing it again once I get up there. I even did my rims/wheels. Don't know why, they will be dirty after the first hour on the road. Oh well, I'll clean everything again once I'm there.

I still find it hard to believe you don't pull your wheels at least twice a year to clear the rims inside and out!
