Has a membership at the local carwash? If so is it just me or do you get the Z hand washed daily?

Huh? Membership at a carwash?

Wash it yourself, by hand, with the correct tools. There's no better way to care for your Z. I wouldn't trust a carwash.

well i have washed it myself but it is really time consuming and i dont have that. So I just have them hand wash it and i drive it home and apply the rim shine and wax (every month) myself. Its only $50 a month and saves me alot of time on the wash.

I use to have that at one carwash until I lowered my car. Most rail system carwash's cant do it. I found a carwash in LA (Melrose Area) called Melrose strip Auto Detail. They handle a bunch of exotics and dont use teh rail system. The guys there know the difference about chrome and polished wheels. Basically for $50 you get hand wash, clay bar, hand wax, and armor all on tires and interior.

Ya i have had numerous incidents where they have curbed my rims on the rail . So I just req a offline hand wash, the best part is that I get unlimited hand washes for just $50. Black is just o so hard to maintain, but when it is clean (for 30 mins) its hott as hell.

Washing daily is bad and not necessary, per the reps from Meguiar's. Wash weekly or every other week, and keep "dusted" with one of the many spray-and-wipe detailing products and microfiber towels only.
