Outdated thinking. If these places were ruining cars, they wouldn’t be in business with so many subscriptions.
Ask any detailer. You are wrong. I have a 2003 Mustang that has as close to a showroom finish as you can get on a used car.

That has nothing to do with your statement on auto car washes.

I’ve never done the in-home drop off, but I swear by the porch drop off. Beats going into a BR Walmart, any day.

$12 for a standard wash to spray dawn soap and water on your car. This cost around $5-$6 less than 2 years ago.


Are you really this poor?

Good info, but I'll only use a cat wash as a last resort.

Some filter the water pretty well, but most don't

I usually see a film on the finish after I go through one. The really good ones are ok, but we don't have many of those, if any, on the NS.

I keep hearing about how life costs too much these days. Yet, the average consumer is paying for all these services they could do themselves. Doordash, car wash subscriptions, lawn service etc... I never see neighbors' teens even cutting their yards or washing their own cars. No wonder everyone feels broke.


people hate to hear the truth sometimes.

with that said you can't go outside and take a shite for under $100 today.

I don't mind the subscription. I go about once a week because my car gets dirty from being on new construction sites or from the slop when it snows.

I pay $27per month for the top line wash unlimited and free vacuums, free microfiber towels and window/interior cleaner. I go every week if the weather permits. Sorry you are a poor.

Laser wash for the win


No brushes. Of course it doesn't do the best job ever. But you don't take the chance of getting a ruined paint
