Is there anything wrong with a completely "touchless" car wash?
Hmm....thanks for providing that link and warning about the touchless washes. The pics in that thread were a bit of an eye opener! I'll definitely be keeping my visits to them to a minimum. I guess I'm just weary about using ONR without first doing some sort of pre-rinse when I've got a really thick coat of grime on, because I don't want to scratch my clear coat by rubbing the dirt into it, you know? And in the winters here (Canada), you can go from spotless to thick coat of grime in just 1 or 2 days. But maybe I'm underestimating the capabilities of ONR? I guess if I had to I could always go and spray it down with a pressure wand at one of those self-serve car washes prior to coming home and using ONR.
