car wash

I have a sterling mist 2k1, and everytime i take it to a car wash i notice lil black lines on my max all ova. I took it to like 3 different car washes and its the same everywhere. At first i thought they were scrateches but with some elbow grease they do come off. Im guessing its the rubber, from the thing at the end that blows the water off ur car. maybe its the edges of the rubber just get thrown into ur paint and stick to it? Any suggestions?

Wash the car yourself..no little extra work to clean those black things off and you will save money. Wait till the temp is over freezing throw some rubber gloves on and get out there and get the job done there is only one other person who thinks i'm not crazy when its windy and the temp is 33 and i'm out washing my car but its a job and I have to do it

Wash it yourself man. Car washes never get all the crap off, only a basic job. Take the time and make your baby look sharp

Always wash mine myself at least once a week but have the luxury of heated 3 car garage and hot/cold water. My neighbors think I am crazy in the summer but can't see in the winter.
