I’m desperate, the pigeons have been using my car for target practice all week. Now that it should be nice for a few days, i want to wash and wax. But I have no facilities (i.e driveway, hose) to wash it here. Delta Sonic sucks, but what else is there? ---

Those do it yourself places suck because their brushes are pretty severe, and you never know what’s stuck in the brush (like a bunch of abbrasive sand from the redneck cleaning off his mudder just before you). When I’m not washing in my driveway because it’s too cold or I’m too busy I usually hit one of the Laser Washes. 100% touchless and do a decent job drying. Bring a microfiber to dry what it misses. The down side being since they’re touchless they may not get all the baked on bird shit off. ---

I guess this is one of many + of living at home. I have a whole wash system. Power wash car, wolfgangs foaming gun which covers the car in soap, then microfiber mit and rinse. I only go to delta sonic in the winter because of their underbody sprayer. Like stated above, California wash is good, Touchless. It will remove about 95% of the dirt on your car. but you will still have that road grim on there. ---

Optimum No Rinse would be my choice. Laser Wash is still pretty harsh on the finish, in my experience. ---

There is a place down on main street in Buffalo near Canisius run by a bunch of black guys. They do a great job. Everyday they make $2000 pieces of crap look like $7000 pieces of crap. That’s a talent in my book. ---
