When i did an Ilocos run last year (in fact, exactly a year ago as per my FB feed) i did not wash the car anymore but every morning before driving off to anywhere, i clean all the windows for good visibility, and dust off the rubber mats. I was tempted to have the car washed in Laoag (i saw a decent looking car wash which later on, i learned Jut also goes to) but passed on it and just gave it a nice DIY wash and another coat of wax when I got home.

If i have the time, i give the car a fresh coat of wax before embarking on a long drive. That i think is better than looking for a car wash inbetween.
Pareho tayo. I can live with a dirty exterior. But the windshield and front windows, including the wing mirrors, have to be clean. For the windshield alone, I go through the whole reservoir of windshield washer in about 2-3 weeks.
