i think i went to delta like once in my life, and it was a chick, and i gave her 5$ ! woo! but i hate when u roll down your window to give them the tip, and then u roll it back up, and it gets all wet and they dont rewipe it for you ---

I dont take my car through delta, but I would take my parents car through after I was done borrowing the car. I would throw guys a buck and girls it ranged. ---

I tip a buck or two… one time they let me take my jeep through 5 times until the huge chunks of mud and gravel were off… that said it worries me that they let trucks through like that… i must have had 150 lbs of mud on my truck. it was the day after this ![http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/BlackoutYJ/ohio/100_1080.jpg](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/BlackoutYJ/ohio/100_1080.jpg) ![http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/BlackoutYJ/ohio/IM001597.jpg](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/BlackoutYJ/ohio/IM001597.jpg) ---

> [@khoveraki](#): > > all you off road guys are the same :picard: care to elaborate on that blanket stereotype? This was a one time thing because I pulled in for gas and the girl asked if I needed a wash. I pointed outside and said I don’t think they could clean mine. We started talking and she offered me a free wash. Then since they weren’t busy the guys kept letting me go around til I got bored. Actually I wasn’t allowed through 90% of the time because my tires were too wide. ---

My friend used to work there a couple of years ago and that dick would bring home 175 bucks a day for looking like a dumb ass and scratching paint with shitty towels. To me it may sound cheap but if its busy I usually wont tip or tip low, I figure if they are gonna rush me threw and do a shit job just to get the next car in then screw that. If its slow though then i will tip like 3 or 4 dollars cause then I guess it would suck. But then again it cant suck to bad cause they always have employees. ---

> [@JayS](#): > > Yes, but I haven’t been to Delta in years. Not a fan of sandy brushes being slammed against my paint. If I’m too lazy/cold to do it myself I hit up the touchless laser wash and bring my microfiber drying towel to touch up what their giant hair dryer missed. They have a lazer wash in Albion, its pretty neat, but the pressure is high as hell, it actually surprised me. And after all that pressure side of the car was still dirty after it dried. Not worth the 9 bucks, but the soap does smell good. ---

I tip most of the time, unless there are obvious spots they didn’t dry. Most of the time they forget half of my back window and a bunch of the sides of my bed. :tdown: To Delta, but I need to keep the salt off.
