    I just found a brand new Coin Car Wash Kipling Ave one block north of Lakeshore.

    This place has separate wax lines. Has Rain-X in the system. The amount of soap that comes out of the brush is amazing. Also the brushes they have are made of non synthetic material and won't scratch up your car like nylon tipped brushes.

    Nice find but I still wouldn't use any of those brushes on your paint. They can still collect dirt and debris. All it takes is it touching the ground or someone using the brush on their mud covered car or rim/tires.

    Bring a bucket and wash mit to wash the car.

    Hey Jonjon you are totally right. In fact we should really have a how to on using a coin wash.

    I always will use the high pressure wash on the brush first for that exact reason!!

    Sadly they don't teach you these things.

    I do like your suggestion about a bucket and mit.

    No problem. Never use a brush on your car......no matter what type of material they use, it will scratch you paint. Better to use a non touch car wash if you have no other choice during the winter. You can grab a bucket and mit for no more than $20 at Canadian Tire.

    I prefer this location which is a closer drive for me than going to Shell at lesile & hwy7. Tokens are also available as discount.

    I stoped by Midland indoor coin wash the other day. Very good place. It is (obviously indoors), seems to be heated, they will wash the brush for you if you ask, good product and they have a high powered air jet dryer at the end bay.

    If you are in the area it is great. Since it isn't to far from my work I might stop by a few more times.

    Oh and buy tokens, it saves you a bit of money.

    Yes, you can wash your engine but I highly recommend blowing it off with compressed air to ensure all water is out, especially the alternator. I work as a detailer for an Audi/VW dealer and have access to everything. If anyone wants their car done, PM me. Saturdays are best. Boss will let me do it "sight unseen". For admin, I am not trying to take business away from anyone who sponsors tm3. Just helping out.
