I went to waterway before I met everyone up at Chilis on Saturday, and I don't think they did that great of a job.. at least the one on Lincoln and I-25 almost. I paid $20 bucks for their winterized wash, they vaccum and clean everything... well they were supposed to. Then when Randy showed up at Chilis I got out and noticed that my front grill and the black plastic pieces on the bottom weren't even touched. Looked horrible. Probably won't be going there anymore, go back to my SUDS over by Park Meadows mall, they do a REALLY good job.

I sent my wife's VUE through the automatic wash at the SUDS on Sante Fe (it's actually on Town Center) and got the premo-super-delux-$8.50 wash. Did a really good job- for a touchless automatic wash.

Also noticed on the sign while waiting for the guy ahead of me to finish that if you call the number listed and pre-pay for 7 washes, you get 3 free.

I'll just always wash 'em myself. Hosed off the Escape this weekend. Poor little cute 'ute, all sorts of little scratches. And those stick out big time on a black vehicle.

Washed mine today. No snow in the 10-day forecast so maybe I'll get to enjoy a clean car for awhile now.

I did the $6 wash at the place across the street from Phil Long Ford on Wadsworth. Seems like it did a good job.

I was thinking of hosing off my car as well. It was fairly clean until the snow on Monday. I didn't drive anywhere, but when it melted, it left the poor car all dirty.

I'm going to do a quick wash tonight on my way home. I don't want to do to much because my car is going to be sitting on the street for the next few days while I'm out of town.
