Seriously, if you care about the finish on your car, do it yourself. Automatic car washes are the worse and could leave you with some nice scratches courtesy of the bozo who can through in a big 4X4 with mud! The ones where you drive and use their high pressure water guns, could damage your paint if you spray too close to the body AND could cause some unwanted water to leak into the compartments in your car. Get yourself some MicroFiber towels and some car wash soap like Meguire's or Turtle Wax (not dish detergent) and go for it! _____________________________ (in reply to beaustang) Post #: 8
