Wash Ya Beast? Whats better?

[fabz]

So im down at the local car was and a thought pops into my head??? Whats better to do.. Hand wash your car, go to the car wash and get it machine washed or at the car wash and do it yourself?? Strange i know but just looking what everybodys thoughts are? Seems everytime i wash my car at home i need a high pressure clear (with water restrictions and all that .. cant) and when i go the car wash it never seems to come out full clean?? I personally would never go thru a machine but whats your thoughts? :king:

use proper soap like the armorall shiny **** or something and use a bucket clean her good but dont let it dry! then wash it off good with the hose, make sure u do this on the grass

i go to the local DIY carwash, then just clean my rims with eagle 1 wheel cleaner... or oven cleaner, makes the rims shiny as

High pressure hose the thing at the $1 place.. Get all the crap off your car, get it roughly clean..

Give it a sponge bath at home with whatever car wash stuff you have..

Dry off and give it a good wax..

DO NOT USE THE BRUSH AT THE CAR WASHES ON YOUR PAINTWORK.. It fully scratched up my clear coat.. The only thing you should use it on are your rims..

Do many people here use a chamois to dry the car off after washing?

Take your bucket n stuff to the car wash, use the high pressure hose to fill the bucket and to 'rinse' your car off. Hand wash there. Use high pressure hose again to rinse off all the soap. Then chamois it all off from the parts that are gettin close to drying first. Then some tyre foam once everythings all dry, and beautiful =P
$2.. less hassle of hose at home, and still get to do the main parts by hand.

As mentioned about the Water Restrictions, etc, I usually just re-wax it...the swab I use seems to move all the dead bugs, bits of cats, etc etc..I use crumpled newspaper on the glass.........I can do it under my house, in the shade, ( Beer fridge....yum............. :thumbsup: )and I don't annoy the rest of me family doing it, where-as opening the garage door....whole house shakes.....then water running though the pipes.....not a good plan at 4.00 am....( I can do things I want to do ATM at 4.00am, cos s0sage is on holidays......don't have to clean up all his mayhem through-out the forum... :thumbsup: ...looooool..)....
