    What was on there? PlastiDerp or just gunk?
    It was gunk that wouldn't come off with a normal sponge. The bf is not a car person and likely has not wiped his brake dust off in like 4 years. Gah!

    I just got my car back in the winter so I've only gotten to handwash it about 5-6 times, but I really like how easy the Gen3 is to wash. The angles and Kodo design just make it really easy to clean! A lot better than my previous car, which had numerous places where water would catch and stay.

    Washed, clay and sealed. I only clay and seal once a year now. Otherwise it's a no railless, touchless wash.

    You should have said something... First time I took my car for rust repairs on wheel well the body wreaked the rest of my car... Swirls and the paint had marining (spelling is way off)... As soon as I seen it I went back inside and grabbed the owner and showed him.... They polished my car.

    Bump

    First real clean of the summer. I had an Amazon gift card so I bought a bunch of chemical guys stuff on sale last winter and never tried any of it out.

    Wash
    Clay bar whole car. Lots of contaminants
    Jet seal
    Pete's 53 wax. This stuff is really nice.

    My clean black car was clean for 15 minutes, then it got dusty. Shiny dust.

    Damn, I find it hard to believe nobody washed their car since Sept 2016 and wanted to talk about it!


    Unfortunately starting to feel the pains of owning a black car. I don't know how I'm ever going to keep the new car clean for more than 5 seconds.

    .

    I haven’t hand washed or detailed my truck in a year.

    Only quick spray downs at a coin op or touch less gas station washes.

    I had my car using a gas station car wash near our place and the automatic car wash was terrible.
    The cloth are very low quality and after that I had to call a few local detail shops in Toronto and they usually ask around 250$ and up to remove the scratches but I was lucky and found this guy , Alex from AAA Car detailing in North York(North Toronto) and paid just 150$ to remove all of scratches and fixed clear coat on my car. my advise to you, NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR TO AUTOMATIC CAR WASH.
    If you need car detailing call these guys and ask for Alex

    also had good experience with MNV Auto Detailing in North York
