        wish I could! I live on campus and have no where to wash it except the car wash. I accidentally took of a chunk of my u of a decal on my back window not long ago, so I had to scrape the rest off. :(

          I never go to the car washes where u have to drive through them. I simply dont trust them. I go to the ones where u wash it your self. Ive had friends go through those and come out with scratches in there cars.

            I've never had problem in the car washes. I always have taken my car to the "soft cloth" washes - when I used to have $$$.

            :(

            Now, it is driveway washes.

              My 87 Firebird used to pose special challenges in car washes because it had louvers. The first time I took it through one, the louvers nearly broke apart under the pressure from the high pressure air dryers at the end. From then on, I learned to high-tail it out of the car wash when the blowers got near the rear of the car.

                  If I resort to a car wash I goto the high pressure water one. You know the one that has no brushes just high pressure water. The only problem is the t-tops leak if I don't max out the A/C. But the car looks clean everytime and doesn't scratch the paint.

                      My buddy works at a carwash place and I used to get free carwashes.
                      After several carwashes I noticed that it has been scratching my driverside of the car! But I couldn't do anything about it because it was free and I didn't want to get my friend in trouble.
                      I never went to an automated carwash after that.

                        Only reason i went to the car wash was it was a nice and living in chicago its still pretty cold and i washed it with my power washer but it didnt come clean and had spots so for $5 i got a car wash. It was the first and last time.

                            Im never going to take my car through the car wash. I will either wash it myself at my house or take it to the dealer that sold the car to me and they have a free car wash! Kinda nice!! :D

                              Yep, no car washes for me neither. My Garage, a Soft Brush, and a shammy is my car wash. [img]smile.gif[/img] There is some sort of satisfaction in having your car shiney and clean, and knowing you took the time to do it [img]smile.gif[/img] Same thing with working on them.
