> First off, make sure it is a reputable spot, like maybe the big one just east of #25 on Steals (iirc you live in Milton or nearby)  
> There should be lots of soap coming out of the brush, and it should be a soft brush (some are pretty crappy).

> Heres what I do:
> 
> 1. drive in (look for the cleanest one… dirt on the floor means dirt in the brush)
> 2. spray your rims with whatever good rim cleaner you use
> 3. insert coins and make sure you have extra in your pocket ready to go incase you need extra time in a hurry
> 4. spray the car with the high pressure soap (don’t let your wheel cleaner sit there too long either)
> 5. WASH THE BRUSH WITH THE SOAP REAL GOOD
> 6. turn on the soapy brush and start washing top to bottom
> 7. wash the rims last
> 8. spray off the car with the high pressure wax. Sure it’s cheap stuff, but it can’t hurt.
> 9. if it’s below freezing, don’t bother drying it off unless you can do it in the bay and it’s still warm in there.

> Good luck man.

y ou have a kouki  
and you actually use the brush?

I saw number 5, that you clean it real good.  
but my buddy is a detailer at porsche,  
and he would never use a brush on paint surfaces.

I’d understand if it was a home brush,  
but one from the local wash… 😕

you have a beautiful car,  
you must be crazy to use that brush! :mad:

you havent had any issues? swurls and such ?
