Car Detailing and Drive Through Car Wash (NSFW)

**geokots** · 07-09-2009 10:38 AM

When you guys need to give your car a quick wash when time doesn't allow you to DIY. Do you go through a drive-through carwash? If you do do you prefer touchless high pressure or with brush.

I guess it might depend on how dirty it is but just wanted some feedback.

I don't trust drive thru, I prefer high pressure wash.

If you absolutely have to then go to a touchless. Avoid the brushes...they are corse and will definitely contribute to swirl marks

Best thing is to DIY reason being heard lots of horror stories of brushtype scratching paint and when i was little one actually scratched my dads car and since then he never has used it again

I took my car to this all new car wash place which said it has like super micro fiber wash system etc.... I won't be going back. The one automated drive thru wash I used left noticable swirls. Always doing it by hand is better even if it means leaving it dirty for a few extra days.

Guess you're right. By hand it will be.

Even if it has MF brushes the problem is jsut that with the quantity of cars going through its going to overwhelm even MF's ability to pull dirt away from the paint.
