Americans love their cars.  A recent survey show one in 10 claims to love their cars more than their significant other.  Yet over half of all car owners have their vehicles washed once a month or less.  Mark Thorsby is Executive Director of the International Carwash Association, which sponsored the survey:

�Half of all car owners wash their cars less than once a month.  And another 16 percent say they never wash their cars.  That adds up to a whole lot of dirty cars on the road.  Having your car professionally washed is a great time-saver, it�s good for the environment and it protects the value of your car.�

The survey also reveals one-fourth of Americans report that �Wash Me� has been scribbled on their cars at least once. You can assess your car's wash needs based on weather and driving conditions by accessing the car wash wizard at w-w-w-dot-carlove-dot-org.
