Free car washes for Houston's dirtiest car

Driving the news: To enter, follow @OceanExpressCarWash on Instagram, post a photo of your vehicle and tag Ocean Express.

• The winner will receive free "The Works" washes for a year at any of the chain's locations throughout Houston's suburbs.

What they're saying: "Some people don't wash their cars more than once a year," Amanda Beckett, marketing director for Ocean Express, tells Axios. "We're really looking to give someone the opportunity to keep their car clean for the year to come."

The intrigue: Southeast Texas often experiences dirty rain, especially around spring when the weather shifts into warmer and wetter conditions.

• "We see a lot of pollen and a lot of dust," Beckett said of their typical customer. That's the kind of mess they're looking to award with a year of washes, she said.

The fine print: "Dirtiest car" is open to the judging panel's interpretations, Beckett said. They're also not considering cars with excessive mud.

What's next: The winner will be announced on National Car Wash Day.

The bottom line: It's time to give your dirty car some love.
