Default Re: Do you use automatic car washes?

The jet washes will also show up gaps in seams or windows that aren't properly shut. It would certainly seem that there is no easy way to clean your car. A hand wash is the best way to go.

i used to work in a filling station and the auto car washes the bristles are quite sharp as most of them are nylon. they do cause quite big scratches and the £5 a shot they def aint worth it.

Default Re: Do you use automatic car washes?

Rarely use 'em. The ARC or ARCO ones are a bit more forigiving. So are some of the Tesco machine washes but then I rarely clean the car at all except for a jet wash off once in a while (2 or 3 a year) and a windows/lights/mirrors/plates clean up.
