I live in the PNW where it rains pretty steadily most of the year and my car gets absolutely gross if I don't wash it once every couple months. Not dusty, I mean filthy dirty. Rain does not make the car clean, quite the opposite. All that water on the road getting kicked up brings muck with it.

I live in an area of the PNW where it snows and rains a lot during the winter, and rains more during the summer. Mud loves to stick to everything, and the Magnesium Chloride they use to de-ice roads loves to oxidize the frame of vehicles.
I have everything at home to clean our vehicles, but I can’t just run the hose during the winter when it’s most important because of the MgCl; so I’ll take our rigs to the wash if we are in town (nearest car wash is 60 minutes away) to clean the undercarriage and minimize rusting.
