[quote=deadzone][quote=Rich Toscano]Thanks for the overview flu![/quote]
Yep well put Flu. It is obvious that Rich is somewhat OCD and now with a dark car I recommend stearing clear of all commercial car washes of any kind. There is a 100% chance they will leave major swirl marks. As FLU says, you can buff these out so it isn’t the end of the world but it is better to avoid if you can.
The alternative is
1. Wash your own car (using proper 2-bucket method, micro fiber or lambs wool wash mit and micro fiber drying towels
2. Use a professional detailer. Many of the mobile detailers do a great job and they will come to your house or office and do a hand wash, they usually charge about $30 for basic wash.[/quote]
For #1, how to you get around the hard water?
It’s never been a problem for me on even a slightly darker color blue car…. until now I went extreme and got a black car, even if I wash in the shade.
Folks have recommended something like this, but I think it’s kinda overkill for me…
