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.

The word 'Get' implies someone else will do the washing. I will wash the car does not always mean you will do the washing either although it is a bit more likely that you will wash the car. What both statements are saying is that the car will be washed this weekend. Who will actually do the washing is not entirely clear.
