You might as well piss in a rusty bucket and then dip a pinecone as your wash mitt.

It would be a cold day in hell before I take any of my cars to a car wash. And just because the paint is a light color menas the swirls may be less obvious, but they are still there nonetheless.

Just wash it yourself, which can be done in the time it takes to drive to the car wash, wait for the car to be done, then drive wherever you are going after.

2. Rinse
3. Foam gun
4. 2 bucket method with grit guards in both
5. Rinse spray
6. Rinse sheeting method
7. Dry with leaf blower
8. QD spray and wipe down

Not to mention the special effort needed to get rid of all those especially stubborn specs .. i use a gentle polishing square pad to remove them by hand..
But it's all a labor of love and sure beats painting the house or cutting the damn grass!..

Agreed. After i get done washing the car, it gives me that feeling of badasery, and then eventually a bird comes and ***** on my parade.

yah, i use a shopvac in blower mode to get all the water out and stuff before i blot so the drying process itself takes like 15min. wash itself is probably 10-12min as i dont like leaving soap on the paint too long.

Stay away OP, unless you like scratches on your roof
