That sounds a bit like my family dynamic. Back in May, ex no. 1, my wife, sons and son number 1's fiance and I went to ATT park to see The Wall. Typical stuff for us.

That's a great thing to do for your ride. You can then monitor (and lament) any new chips/scratches that need touch-up.

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!

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.

This is the part I'm scared of the most.

Meh, you don't have black... it shows dirt 30 mins after washing.

True...true, but black is beautiful, esp after a good polish and wax!

Also, black is one of the easiest paint colors to match!

Beautiful yes.

ahhh.... <3

I dunno, now that they've started putting in all the flake types, it makes it a bit more complicated.

I have NEVER driven my car onti/into one of those track systems-

I always use the self serve ones-usually early in the day so i can do some hand washing too.

Anyway-all done-sitting pretty in front of the house now!
Btw: i did get skunk spray on friday! Lol - i could smell it around the front passenger wheel well when i washed it

God i love this car-

<3
