What’s so wrong with the drive through car washes as long as they are touchless? ---

Touchless ones do a pretty poor job from what I’ve seen. At least compared to a good hand washing. They aren’t as bad for your paint as the ones that do make contact with the car, but they don’t do a great job of cleaning it, either. IMO, of course. ---

At least compared to a good hand washing. They aren’t as bad for your paint as the ones that do make contact with the car, but they don’t do a great job of cleaning it, either. IMO, of course. well of course it’s not as good as a hand wash. But if you can’t hand wash in the winter time it seems to be the best alternative. I certainly can’t see how it would do any harm… ---

There’s no doubt about them being better for your paint than a touch wash. I’m just saying that hand washing is the best way to go. I understand the touchless wash in the winter time, though. It’s not going to be great, but it can get the salt off the car I suppose. ---

rally wax… its like 4 bux a can. shit is fantastic unlike all the gimmick products that only last a few years. but mike would even ask what toilet paper to use if he had a choice of two. ---

Chance of Dirty/Recycled water, wheel damage and harsh chems make me stay away from the touchless washes… I will take a wash bucket to work and wash it in the bay of the quarter wash on 910 by 19 before Starlite tho, considering I can wash it Thursday night and it will be dirty by Friday morning, god damn black car. ---

Quick detailing products and microfibers are your friend. I used to wash my Jeep once a week and quick detail it every few days if it was just dusty. That H20 Wash is the one I used last weekend. If my car didn’t have the original 25 year old paint that’s cracking and swirled beyond repair (save for wetsanding/buffing), I still wouldn’t have used it. Not a bad idea to take your own bucket. ---

There is usually some garbage or wet road followed by dirty road on route 8 and mcknight on my way up to starlite from work that I would prefer not to try to UQD off, sometimes I just do it the night before and live with it. Opening starlite last year, the night before I spent 2 hours washing and waxing my wheels, and ran out of daylight, felt so “hood rat” driving to work the next day, “atleast my rimz be clean dawg” ![http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii196/SK360_PGH/Starlite%20Kickoff%202008/IMG_0515.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/7/3/73288b18a177c9d36a69eda21db8ce7609ddf538.jpeg) 🤣 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/best-wax-for-the-money/202111.md?page=2)
