Now you're making me feel guilty about this winter. Where else am I going to wash it. I'm not leaving loads of salt on it, that can't be good for the paint.
This weekend definitely getting washed, clayed, and waxed.

Now, i usually use one of those microfiber towels, but this is something to think about, good stuff

This weekend definitely getting washed, clayed, and waxed. you need good selant as well before wax, just adds layer of protection. get collonite 845 its sealing wax. its very durable, pretty easy to apply and take off, pretty cheap too $13 for bottle that will last forever if you just gona do your car Title: Re: think before you take it to car wash Post by: v6sicksspeed on October 29, 2009, 11:16:55 AM i hate to do it too but i have no other choice but to bring it into the car wash every once in a while during the winter

To me, that's just common sense. I need to wax and clay my car before it gets too cold. We do have a carwash near me though that does a really good job, and only hand dries with terry cloth's
