Thread: What did you do to your Car today?

Yeah

This is a touchless car wash



This is a car wash with brushes and spinny things and the dangly things to wash the car

I dont like the spinny things.

I know the touchless doesn't have those, still got all the dirt and crap off. I know the difference I just worded it way wrong.

touch less car washes suck balls and the dick.....if the car is not touched, its still dirty. go hose your car off, see if its clean? its not trust me. and thats about what good it is, a hosed down car.

The best thing about the touchless washes is the undercarriage wash.

most "car wash" places here offer that. you need to pay for it tho. part of the full service deal, thats over priced lol ill vac and wash my own windows.

crazy, but a exterior wash is like 5 bucks. full package is almost 20, all they do extra is how wax, undercarriage, vac it, windows, wipe the dash down and tire shine.

hot wax is a joke too.

When I was 15 or 16 I worked at a car wash place that did hand washes. A quick hand wash was only like $5.

All we had was garden hoses, soap, and sponges to wash with. LOL I didn't get paid hardly anything, but it was easy and a few extra dollars in my pocket to buy junk food in the school cafeteria. LOL

I'm mostly using them to get the salt crap off, when its warm I hand wash. Its was like 7 bucks for wash and that triple color foam crap and wax and spotless with dryer. Not a true under body wash like my old place I liked from ohio which had jets you drove over. This one has jets on the sides about where the side skirts are. I'll probably spend a few bucks blast the rockers myself then drive into the touchless.

I had a job like that! It was at a pizza shop

i worked at a car wash for a short time, 3 weeks maybe. it was a real car wash, but we had to spray the wheels with acid, ( one reasons i quit, it took skin off with rubber gloves on) and we had to take a brush on a pole and scrub the bumpers and top or the windshield and rear glass. by the end of the day your arms are dead as fuc! and your hands were raw. this was no hang out job, cars were lined up bumper to bumper through the car wash all day long at this place. not a cake job at all. and not worth the crappy 5 or 6 bucks a hour i was getting to do it.

I bet after a summer of that you looked like the hulk tho

The wash bays at some of my customers have acids and all kinds of stuff to keep their fleet clean. The one will literally eat concrete off of the trucks.

yeah, theres some mean stuff out there, this stuff ate brake dust off like nothing, it also ate the plastic spray bottles, and the thick rubber gloves.

some how im sure hes not using it no more. i bet it been banned by now, 80's stuff when no one cared.

i also didnt miss hearing this asshole owner yell, "NEUTRAL" all damn day long.

Don't blame the asshole owner, blame the idiot drivers. LOL

nah, the guy was a asshole big time. funny but years later i meet new people find new friends and the one guy tells me his uncle owns the car wash, im like was he always a asshole? hes like oh yeah, you think im the black sheep? he was years before me lol

Upgraded the GTP a couple days ago 2008 g8 gt 63k

15.4 out the door after my trade in

deemed the tower rust minimal. and it can wait.

slotted the strut, now the top of the tire looks to be to far in, so being i still have time on the warranty from my last alignment, ill take it back and let them re set it properly. the last time i went in the camber was out of spec on that same wheel. now it can move and be right i hope. tire also no longer rubs the quarter panel lip on hard turns.

I warshed it today (yes, warshed) and went to get it tuned again by Dan.. and then we discovered my Regal doesn't like his tune, at all.. so nothing big really happened. Just some new trans settings. Until next time.
