I wish I can join you all on the discussion, but it's illegal to wash your own car where I live (Toronto, the great white North and free :). Some kind of bylaw about protecting sewerage/storm drain water. So touchless at the gas station it is (about 4 times a year)

long time lurker, first time poster here. Decided to make an account because this story still gets my blood boiling... Obviously this is a VW story :P
