Touchless carwashes, Okay, but do no real good aside from residual dirt.

Touch carwashes are a definite NO NO.

I cringe at the thought of blasting the dirt thats already on my car into the paint.

Also, you're relying on their filtration to do a good job. Guess where that water came from? That muddy 4x4 that went ahead of you.

Good morning all!

Hello, Mr. Happy!!!

For today it is Juke and 370Z washing, 240Z battery charging (and then replacement with a deep cycle yellow top next week). The highlight, of course, will be the Baby Shower for Colin adn Brianna at ex-wife number 1's house. It should be fun hanging out with my extended family for a couple of hours.

I think of them more as the exception, not the rule. If in the event it's been a long time since I've had a chance to hand wash, or if it's just too damn hot out, then I will.

Agreed their chemicals, water filtration, lack of adequate pressure/directional control of everything... But still, better than sitting dirt covered. lol

I dunno, I think I'd rather leave the dirt on the body, than have it pressure-washed off/into the paint. It doesn't hurt anything to leave it on there for a little while longer. Plus...the track system that some of those washes have can truly eff up your wheels.

Just my tho, fwiw.
