Come on Herc thats what they make crazy automatic Carwashes crazy for.
The only time since I got my car that its gone through the car wash was when my grandpa was driving it. it made me so mad . I just got done wheeling it out 3 days prior to that.

That's how I get it washed but when you pull out of the car wash and 15 feet away is a sand/salt laden road and 1/8 of a mile later you can't tell you washed it. Sorry not worth the $14 they rip us off for.

Oh and by the way my finish is not the greatest. I do what I can but when you have two people workin and only have two cars. You just can't put one up for the winter. After the car is paid off I'll put those car payments into a new paint job to take care of all this abuse it's goin through.

haha. Well, I bought all the stuff for a good car wash, but alas, my OTHER baby broke down and I had to rescue my fiancee. There will be other sunny days (Thursday mid 60s)

It must be nice to have those nice days already. It's a gloomy day here in Chi-town.

I rarely take the GP to the automatic wash place because I saw a report on the news about how some of the places recycle the water. Now, I'm not talking about the old water going through some sort of filtration. It's the same dirty water that's recycled. Yuck!

Besides, when it comes to the GP, I'm a perfectionist. I would much rather take my time to wash her, dry her, clean the interior and polish her if there's time left. But that's just me.
