I am going to try and wash mine today at lunch, anyone know of a car wash in DTC area? I might go through the spray wash place down the street, not sure how expensive they are though..

I just hit that foam brush at the car wash with the high pressure soap to get the crap out from the guy before me and use that. When I get my ENTIRE car with the brush, it does a good job. When I miss spots here and there, it looks like poo.

I try not to use the brush any more because of the crap left it in from previous
customers and the damage it might do to my paint. I always miss places to with the foaming brush
can't see what is isn't done under all those suds. :lol:

That's what I used to think too and that's why I hit it with the high pressure soap. So far, no damage to my paint.

So I found a brush less carwash this morning on my way to work, figured I better get this crap off of my truck before this next snow comes in. So I paid $8 bucks, went through, it sounded like it was pilling the paint off my vehicle. lol. It dried my truck off (half way) I pull over when I get out and OMG its spotted.. It did not even clean it. So now I gotta find a new place, and wash it at 6 tonight when it will probably be snowing.. or just plain cold. UGH! Sorry not having a very good day, and now my car is worse then it was before I started. Wish DTC had more car washes.
