Any drive through wash, IMO...whether brushless or not, are crap. The only way a car would look good coming out of one is if it was already clean going in. Haha.

I took advantage of the beautiful afternoon today and hand washed both of my cars. My wife's car hadn't been washed since about September, so it was nasty. I know it's suppose to possibly snow tomorrow, but my car doesn't get driven much on weekends (or long weekends).

And the paint job on my winter wheels is taking some abuse. I don't think they will ever come completely clean again. Oh well, they are meant to be nasty.

My car's happy now. I hosed it off yesterday and removed all the grime. Looks much better.

I'm hoping I can get out of work before it gets dark and will stop and wash mine too.

The car wash is broken? That seems odd. There was a line at the one near my place at a few of the stalls, I was able to sneak into the one on the end that was empty. Hehe.

If you live near Powers and Barnes in the Springs there's a $3 car wash...$6 is you get the undercarriage which is cheaper than the gas station. You all might know...maybe I'm late on it.

it was chalked up to user error, I was behind the incompetent one. came back later and all was well.

Rx-8chic that is a good deal, there is a luckyduck car wash down there, but any wash in the springs
