I own the yellow z. I thought it was the funniest thing seeing a GTR at a $5 car wash (now changed to a $6 wash as you can see with the sign mod).

PS 100% hand wash btw. Harbor blvd between heil and warner. See you guys all there!

Looks like a dealer car from the plate. I doubt they care, plus its white.

Well, it isn't like the GT-R owner went to a $5 car wash. That would be cheap.

That's not just any owner, it's Nissan! It has their 562 license plate, which you can see was also on the Z and G. In any case, it could be a car mag testing the car for a review or Nissan is testing something else *shrug*

Same here. I took my nice, shiny new 2006 Civic once to the hand wash over by my house and they put a one square foot pile of SCRATCHES on my trunk lid. Never been to a car wash where other people touch my car since then. I'll do the coin wash thing on occasion, but I only use the sprayer, won't use the foaming brush AT ALL.

cheap just because GTR owners should pay more for a car wash? Maybe the $5 place is pretty good, considering the OP goes there. Is there something wrong with going to a $5 decent carwash just because we own GTR's?

Pretty ignorant to say imo.

The only thing I own is the yellow z. I just thought it was funny, but this spot is a great car wash anyways, I don't mind giving it some exposure.

100% Hand wash? Does not make any difference if the rags they use have been used 10 times already that day on other cars. I would NEVER take my car somewhere like that, whether a Z or GTR.

It does if you compare to the plastic tentacles brushing your car or high pressure water shooting at it. Also I checked the rags they use at this place, butter soft!

Well we all know not to go through a conventional car wash.... Washing your own car ftw!

There are no $5 decent car washes. Period...

We stereotype that people who owns more expensive/luxury/sporty cars would pay more for there car wash but they definitely don't, and do the same thing like a lot of people out there do. Go through those trash drive-through car wash, or get it done for insanely cheap. I'd also say that 90% of the average consumer does not even notice swirls anyways unless its on a black/dark vehicle that shows it very obviously.
