Car Washes

[MissSilverSaxo]

Why does no one seem to use them ? Like the big ones at supermarkets.

Are they bad for the car or something because my cars completely rank and it looks like its going to rain and a big car washing machine seems tempting instead of cleaning it and then it raining.

There not the best and if they completely trash your car you have no come back as you enter at your own risk.

i use the manual ones at tesco costs normally £2 if your quick enough thats the hot soap brush all that. wax and stuff. but make sure no stones in the brushes and there is water coming out as will scratch your car.

I use to use the manual jet wash things but there too powerful as I found out when it blew the paint off my GT.

[Steve]

seriously? jesus al stand back a bit next time...

[ets2k9]

Yeah it blew the paint of round the boot lock.

Let that be a warning to you all and I wasn't standing 2 inches away I was a decent distance.

Gutted but the lad I sold it to didn't care..

[ets2k9]

I agree get yourself some decent gear and you'll be amazed at the results. see the million "i've cleaned my car today" threads for pics.

i use the wagon washer at work sometimes with the AutoGlym they've got

I only ever use super market bruch washes. Cannot be arsed washing by hand, or even using a jet wash. Brush wash is good, and never had any probs.

i cant be bothered just yet to do all the waxing and stuff might have a go before the next north east meet! plus i have a big key scratch in my car dnt want it showing lol

The reason peopledon't use them is because they scratch your paint. You wont notice straight away but after repeated use you will notice thousands of tiny scratches

i also dont find the results that great. I dont mind taking a few hours to clean my car as i know the results are good and using polish and wax the shine will last :afro:

[PRICEY-VTS]

hands wash is the best take your time comes out better than jet wash

[James]

Pffff car washes... I remember when i used to use them, really scars your paint work with swirls and shit... Since i cleaned my car propelly i havent even thought about going to one.
