I was thinking of taking my 350z through a car wash, but I am kinda worried about swirl marks. This is no cheap car wash by any means. It's Mike's car wash. Here's the details of what all they do:

Would I be ok taking it through there?

 

 

take it to a hand car wash place, the ones with all the illegal immigrants hiding inside

 

no.

 

handwash the Z

 

+1

 

I look fwd to handwashing my Z, it's kinda like a bonding time for us.... ok, perhaps I have lost it, but you guys know what I mean!!!

 

thats where i take my car

 

The time you save using a drive thru carwash or cheap "hand" wash will be used up and then some when you have to use a multi step polishing process.

 

THe fingers hitting the top of the car are about useless. Its the sides of the car that are dirty not the top.

 

Whether it be a water jet car wash or other, the chemicals they use in them are a lot more harsh than most of us would use whilst detailing our cars. It will strip most of the wax off your car if it has any, and it isn't very kind to any plastics etc. It won't clean your rims either and may cause your headlights to haze.

Lol, have I put you off yet?! Either detail it yourself or employ a professional detailer to do it for you.

 

get it hand washed, it don't cost much more

 

best wash in town done in under 15 min.

 

Illegal immigrants left swirl marks on mine. Have to polish that **** out now...

 

Handwash!! Always lol

 

Damn, we need more immigrants in PA


Seriously though, hand washing the Z doesn't take that long. It's a small car and once you get a routine down it can be done in no time. Stay away from those car washes, not only do they use harsh chemicals like some members have already mentioned but there is dirt from every car that's gone through before you embedded in those brushes.


You may as well just wash your car with sand paper

 

A car wash I used once had floor soap in their machine. It removed my clearcoat.

 

I wish I had a handwash place that did it for me

 

MIKE'S!!! Then by all means DO IT! j/k



Just go wash your own car!

 

Dont be lazy...wash that $hit
