I was when I lived in MN. I had a subscription for unlimited car washes (I did the "medium" level). When I commuted in winter I would wash my car at least once a week, sometimes twice. Summer, maybe once every other week. It just took two washes to break even, 3 was coming out ahead. There were times when it was really dirty that I would go through twice back to back.

There was hardly a time there wasn't a short line to go through and many had the subscriptions, you can tell because the attendant just guides you into the track and there was an RFID tag on your windshield and if the attendant didn't have to take payment you knew they had the subscription.
