if you had to...

[steveo9043]

I know this goes against a lot of peoples opinions. However, if you had to go to an automatic car wash or a car wash place where would you go? I know I can get free car washes from the dealer but i don't know if I trust there car wash.

The girl needs to be cleaned

That question does not compute. Suck it up and wash it yourself or have it washed.

i use a touchless carwash by my house only until i can do it myself in spring... Have dealer wash it because its free??? So are those scratches

Steve, you want to go to Delta Sonic. Imo the difference between a hand wash & a touchless car wash is WAX. When you have it hand washed no wax=surface scratches. And you must invest in microfiber cloths to dry it. Don't them them use their towels. This is what I do & have a black car so you can inspect it tomorrow & be your own judge
*to anyone thinking of commenting* Steve said PG! Hehehe jk

Go to one of those DIY places later at night or early morning when they're not busy and bucket/hand wash yourself. They won't say anything if your not making anyone wait. Or pay to have it hand washed.

I usually wash it myself. below 32 degrees, I'll use a touchless wash by my house and pull it in the garage to touch it up

Delta Sonic's still have them chamois finger things, I don't like 'em. When it's too cold out here like it is, yes, touchless all the way. - I typically go through the washes at what used to be Gas City, now Speedway. They seem to do a better job than the touchless ones at the Super Suds places that have the DIY Washes. I do use the DIY washes if it warms up enough. Otherwise, the handwash place I use is in Roselle, on Irving Park rd., Perfect Auto Finish.

I take my baby to sudsational hand car wash on Ogden ave in downers grove and wise hand car wash on wise ave in Schaumburg. sudsational 1, wise 2 best hand car washes in Chicago as far. I'm concerned
They pull out new wash cloths when show up and only dry with micro and shamie

I put on nitrile gloves and wash it outside myself. I use hot water, it cools by the time I'm finished with the wheels. Did that 2 weeks ago in fact. The car is put away for the winter now, but if it wasn't, I would use a self service place. These cars get scratches just from looking at them, at least mine does!

I use a local hand wash place - Emperial Car Wash here is South Holland.
$14 for complete inside and out service, and they do an awesome job!
Takes about 20-30 minutes, but they're right next to a food joint called Andy's Grill, so I just plan to go have a sandwich while my car is being washed. Works out nicely.

I've got a black one too and will only use Delta Sonic (at 59 & North Aurora). I bought my Camaro from a salesman who used to be manager there. Said they really are the best in keeping their pads clean to prevent scratches. Since my Camaro is my all season car, I use the $13/month unlimited washes to keep the salt off. I've been very happy with them. I never let the guys there wipe my car down. They don't used micr-fiber towels. I just smile, wave and keep on going to go wipe it down myself! Haven't had scratching and it is all about the wax! I still use self-serve washes when I have the time (or the temp isn't frigid!)
