Re: Touchless, Brushless car wash

[philby@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Phil Coppin)]

We have one in our neighborhood which I have been using for several 
years (this is Chicago, salt in winter!). Spray is about same pressure 
as those "wand washes" but they have good coverage and I am very happy 
with the results. They hand towel the car dry after the blowdry. Have 
been using it on the wifes A4q (Inyerfaceofficer Laser Red!) with great 
results and we show no apparent paint damage, spiderwebbing or anything 
like that. BTW - We do a three step Meguiars on both of the cars twice 
a year and use the carwash weekly in the winter and when needed in the 
summer. I will NOT use a whirlybrush wash. Reason - Our 
Audi/Mercedes/BMW dealer had one (had being the operative word) and 
when they gave us the free wash with our first service it screwed up 
(spiderwebbed) the paint. The service advisor told me to ask for a hand 
wash in the future. They did offer me a half price detail but I did it 
myself instead. It took me a morning with my orbital buffer and 
assorted Meguiars products to get it back in shape.
