A question on English:

If I say, "I'll get the car washed this weekend," who does the cleaning, myself or someone else?

English is not my first language and your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In England that could mean either interpretation.
My dad would say it and mean that he will wash the car. I would say it and mean that I'll be getting someone else to do it.
A lot depends on the area that you grew up in.
If you wanted to be more clear, then changing it to "I will" or "I'll get someone to" would do the trick.
