I go to those Coin-Op places where u buy tokens & u r provided with a high-powered jet spray ...

Do u guys use these places or do u wash @ home? If @ home ... how do u prevent wind from throwing up stuff on the car .. or stay shaded from the sun?

 

I wash my car at home. And I usually pick a day where there's not much wind and lots o' sun! Today was such a day. Had a mini-meet and two other cars came over and washed their cars too.

 

I always wash at home. Most car wash place wont accept responsibility if my wheels get scratched (18") so I do it at home. Plus I hate going to the car wash and being like you missed a spot... and here also. I wash it myself and can't complain.

 

I wash it at home on the lawn. I park it under a big tree in the front so it cools off first, then I wash the car, and water the lawn at the same time...

Drying is superfast with the California Waterblade.

 

I wash my car with the rain. As soon as it stops raining, I get out and dry off my car. Then I might wax it once a month.

 

My preferences:
1. Wash at home - done right, and I get all the spots under my bike rack
2. Coin-op sprayer - again, I get to control the coverage, but feeding in all those coins is a pain
3. Drive-thru wash - misses spots, my wheels are still dirty, but does the job when there's no spare time (like this week!)

 

Doesn't the tree sap kill the car?

I LOVE THE CALIFORNIA WATERBLADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I wash at home in the evening when it is cool and the car is cool under my pecan trees

in the winter time I use the coin washes they do a decent job

and I am constantly wiping off with the "california car duster"

 

once or twice a month I take my car to a full service wash (Sky Wash) where they do the wheels, interior and everything. They have computers with internet access while you wait so I check the maxima.org fourms to see what's goin on.

In between getting my car washed at Sky Wash I take my car to the BP gas station drive thru wash. They just got a new system that really does a good job and is twice as fast as the lasat setup they had there.

 

i wash it in the drive way and drive in immediately into the garage (while it's still wet) and use the california water blade in the garage. i then dry off the car using 100% cotton towels (i have a stack of them just for drying the car only) and then i detail inside and out.

kafene.

 

I do it early in the morning or late evening. I prefer cloudy days, especially for waxing.

When I am fed up and don't have time I take it to a hand car wash that is down my street. I never go to automatic car washes. Showing up at work with a spotless car is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

 

I wash my car at home at night.

 

My apartment complex has a "car wash" spot... it's basically 2 hoses and a vacuum and a restricted parking space. I wash it there, then take it back in front of my place to detail.

 

i wait till about six in the evening when my house will cast a nice shade and i wash my car under there. i wash it almost every other weekend, unless it gets real messy. about once a month, i spend the 4-5 hour deal vacuuming, waxing, treating leather seats and every other good thing to my car. the only problem is, whenever i wash my car, my parents make wash theirs too, but they dont the the rainX, armor-all and all the other goodies

 

For real?? If I saw you I'd stop get out of my car, point, then start laffin j/p i wouldn't get out in the rain

Andre as in white max from the tampa races?? I know Matt if you are Andre...

 

Nah, no sap from this tree. Just little leaves I wash off.

Me too.

 

gotta wash it at home... i really don't trust any of those coin-operated places...

 

I use the local Crackhead they do good work for 2 bucks
No Joke

It's better to do it yourself in the Summer and take it to a drive thru in the Winter.

 

grrrrr I wish my apt. complex had a car washing spot...they dont so I have to use the coin-op car washes....

 

you guys think the california water blade works good? when i saw that thing i had doubts cause it looked weird... they sell it at costco for like $12 and its double that in auto stores! if you guys swear by it maybe ill pick one up.. it looks like it would scratch your car or something... also the cali dust remover seems interesting too... ill look into them.. one product you should never use is that simoniz at home car wash thing. my aunt has it... theres plastic strips that hold it down the cloth... the plastic strip put a nice few scratches on my car from now on im gonna do it the old fashioned way

 

i wash my car at my friend's house, and then we zaino our cars with the Texas Wax Applicator.

 

I wash mine at the coin operated places and then take extra time afterwards detalining

 

at home in my driveway.

 

GET THE CALIFORNIA WATERBLADE!!!!!!!!!! IT IS AMAZING!!!!!!

 

Same here

 

Is it made by the same people that do the waterblade?

What does the car duster do? Is it for the exterior or interior?

Tkx!

 

I wash my car on the Driveway at Home....

Every G*d D*me time i sped two hours cleaning the car, inside and out.. she looks sweet for half an hour...

It the Pollen.... Dam Pollen all over my clean car....

Woke up this morning and the car was COVERED in Green Pollen...My wife's White Navigator looked like sh*t too....

Have to clean out the garage and get the Maxima in..


I prefered the winter cold dry days, at least everyones car looked like crap....

Any suggestions for removing Pollen the morning after ??

 

i feel for you man my super black max looked like i didnt clean it in a month the day after i cleaned it... it has that look your car gets from being in a shop and getting all dusty.. hopefully the pollen should be ending soon

 

Yes

It's a wax(?) covered soft brush that you use to lightly dust your car. Works best if you use it often.

Both exterior and interior. At Costco they sell a two pack, big one for outside, little one for inside.

Buy em all! Dusters and blade!
