    Default ** CAR WASH ??? **

    I cant find what I am looking for...Need to know if it exists ..

    So I either hand wash my car....or back home in the northeast we had TOUCHLESS car washes...and what they would do is:

    a. Drive in to the wash
    b. an automated hose would go around your car / not touch it and just spray water / soap / wax / water....
    c. then a huge hair dryer from above would hover over and dry the car...

    Then I would drive out and hand dry the rest of it. Because it wasnt my daily driver and I only drive it in nice weather...(still has original wiper blades that have been used 3 times by getting caught out) it never really gets *dirty*...just dusty and needs to have a washing...

    I have seen the types that you can get out and spray it yourself...but I dont want that...I like the one I described below...

    I however cannot locate one anywhere around Atlanta....anybody know where they are or do yall even have them ?..


    Thanks for the help !

Since they do not touch it too agitate and cause mechanical removal it has to be done by using EXTREMELY strong soaps and cleaner solutions. Now with those cleaners any protection you might have on the paint from a crappy wax or sealant you applied, it has been removed. Now your driving around in the elements and sun with no protection to your paint. Do this often enough and you will eventually cause the clear to fail, paint to fade and generally destroy your paint.

    I could make you feel real bad about your paint having "no swirls."

    It's right next to where you click to quote someone. To the right. It's a little tab with a set of quotation marks in a "speak box" with a plus sign beside it.
