Which shut down in the winter time, which is the time you need to wash your car most, to get all the salt off...

Huh, hasn’t bothered me any. Mine’s a 94, been in the Rust-belt it’s whole life, yet has zero rust.
I’ll tell you time.
So you have never seen the videos where people throw water in the air and it freezes? I have done that in both Ohio and South Dakota.
It is completely infeasible for me to hand-wash my car. I live in an apartment, and street-park my car, often 4-5 blocks away from my apartment. I do not have access to a hose, or to a place to wash the car, and I don’t believe it’s legal to use soap on a street here which will drain into the regular storm drains —…
I just checked again to make sure. My paint is still on my car
Those self-washing quarter-activated stations with the spray wand that does soap, water, and pressure, are great. You don’t have to rely on the graces of machines that trap you while they clean, but you can still quickly soap down and wash a car without lots of prep, your own hose, effort, or time.
Sonic is pretty good. No spinning brushes and they hand dry for you. $26 a month for unlimited washes!
A Clay and a Wax isn’t going to help the scratches and swirls that the car wash has inflicted into your clear coat.
That’s a gross over simplification of who the drivers are. Some people don’t have the luxury, or the time.. or even money to have a hand wash. Not knowing each and individual motive for using an automated car wash, makes your statement wrong.
Yeah this is in Rochester NY, where we get 100+ inches of snow a year and 30 degrees F feels warm during the winter. Hand washing is not an option and unless you like your car rusting away due to the literal thousands of tons of salt used during the winter you go to a car wash. I care about my car so it goes through…
I care about my car, too, which is why I take it through the automatic car wash when it’s freezing and the roads have been salted. Come spring, I clay and wax it and it looks good as new. Plus, I don’t come off as a precious narcissist this way.
Look at mr fancy pants over here
Exactly. Some of us live in, say, Edmonton, where there is zero chance that we will be hand washing our outrageously dirty cars when it is -30c outside.
No way man, get out there and coat that car with a soapy ice sheet, then split your head open falling on ice in 8°f weather. That’s what a true enthusiast would do.
The other issue with hand washing is that it doesn’t clean the undercarriage of the car. What does that mean if you live in the midwest? R-U-S-T.
I used to get my stuff done at whatever photo place was near me on the Q line, but since I work near Union Square I just walk over to Luster by Tompkins Square
Seven Lakes Drive? I love a good drive through Harriman State Park!
To be fairly honest with you guys, I’ve been to Paris using the subway is 100 times easier than driving a car. You can get from one end of the city to the other in considerably less time than driving a car. So.. all of you jalops out there, I hope I am not banished, but public transport in Paris and most other huge…
