Washing your own car is just like a good work out. I would never take my car to any car washes period. Even though, mine is 02's.
Working in the dealership, I had lots of my vendors giving me advices on how to wash your own car. One thing that I learn is to wash it with less water. I would recommended anyone to try KLASSE products. It's work wonderfully..
Here's how to clean your car without water!!
*Get a sponge (big yellw) usually you can get it at home depot..
*soak the sponge and apply some of the KLASSE all-in-one product ( not too much )
*then clean it, just like you are using soap, it much easier and not envolve water hoses get in your ways
*then dry them by using a clean rags/towels...
This is just like waxing/polishing your car at the same time...You can see the difference especially you have a black car.
I do my own wash and it can be fun...you should try it..
