Default When it’s time to wash the car



Just wondering, I work at a carwash currently and I do see some pretty expensive cars come through. So...</P>


I'll start, I go through the carwash. Just because it's quick and easy and I can get a nice wash for free.</P><edited><editID>Obsol3te</editID><editDate>38027.9679282407</editDate></edited>

Like to wash it by hand because it's the only way to really get it clean. In winter though, I'll run it through an automated one to get the salt off. Picky about which ones I take it through though.

In summer I wash and wax by hand. This takes a few hours, but it is worth it. In winter I use touchless car wash.

I would never send my car through the car wash, EVER. Touchless car wash is the only thing I'd use..

In the winter I am forced to go through automated. BUT i only go through touchless. Come better weather I wash my atleast 2 times a week by hand. Nothing get beat the look of a professionally (sorry sp) cleaned car.

I like to hand wash my own also. I had it detailed once and cost me $150 and it looked the same as when I do it. I like to take the seats out and vacum and wash the carpet and seats when it gets warm . It takes a while but atleast I know it's done to my satisfaction and it's a heck of alot cheaper.------besides my neighbors love for me to wash my own also, I think that might have alot to do with the bikini though. hehe<IMG src=smileys/smiley17.gif border="0">
