I'm addicted to the touchless car wash machine at the Exxon at Spring Hill and Rt 7.

None at all. The machine takes a laser measurement of your car and then runs the detergent and water

along the contours of your car. There's practically no machinery on the ground - but it also doesn't do a chassis bath.

As I said last time, bring your own chamois and wipe it down and save $ on the blow dry too.

Agreed. But for $7, no fuss, no muss, it works for me. (How's the S6?)

PS: It comes out clean enough for me to finish the job with some SpeedShine in my garage.

Thanks! Used it today...

it did an acceptable job fo rme. I'm not as picky as most, and a car, is just a car to me. I can now keep some things cleanish during the winter months. Thanks again!
