    Default Where to get a car wash?

    I live in Atlantic Station and the carwash port in my condo is not finished yet. My car is filthy, and GGPIS won't stop bitchin on how disrespectfulo I am to my wheels by letting them get that dirty. Does anyone know a good, reasonably priced spot in my area to get my car washed and/or detailed?

    Fuck Off,
    JM

    Oh I forgot about that car wash. It's like a mile or two from the varsity.

    For the summer I am near Miledgeville, but two months from now I will be back at Georgia Tech.

    just so you know if Cactus Car wash breaks your car they are going to tell you to fuck off. And if you think you will be able to sue tham and win GL not gona happen unless you have a video of an employee breaking your car. They do have a few good detailers but the owner of Cactus cares about one thing and that washing 1000+ cars a day as fast as he can.

    what a gay thread. lol


    i'll ask nick where he gets his washed at... some gamdengs spot. u really need to stop bitching and learn to take care of your shit. washing a car isn't rocket science. buck up and go do it yourself. or bring a FAT blunt over and we can do it together. but you best take off your wheel and clean your other stoptech before the brake dust binds to your paint...

    I saw that place, even pulled in, but I left as soon as i saw that they were picking up towels from the ground to dry off cars. I am a true car wash n00b and even I know thats a huge no-no... I want a good car wash, not circle scratches all over my car lol


    GGPIS has a slow car.

    fuck off,

    Yeah it's good for about 2 washes, then you have to re-apply. But my tC is barely a year old so a full wax isn't needed. But the Mazda on the other hand...well...let's just say it's in dire need of a good detail.
