At Gary Airport, where I now have it hangared, the FBO lets me put the
plane inside their hangar and use their brushes and cleaning solution.

My home field has was stations set up for the benefit of based aircraft
and transients. However, 9/11 shutdown the transient traffic.

Back when we were based at Dulles (and when the FBO was still locally owned
they let Margy wash the plane in the hangar). A few days later I went to
take it down to the instrument shop and I can't find the darn thing. Take
a peek in the hangar and sure enough it's sitting there proudly between
a G-III and a Hawker. The line guys decided it was so clean and shiny that
they'd keep it in until they needed the space for something else.
