Holy crap. It goes against everything we preach here Dale.
The Jet wash: We all know what brooms and/or brushes do,
Handwash: Toss the Chenille and the blade, and who knows what they dried it with, and just how fresh (and what soap) was that water they washed with?
Nice find Dale! Very interesting to say the least.

Well I think we have always preached no water blade .. no spinning brush car wash and no hand used brushes. Just shows the results.

5 minutes in the car wash.... 5 hours with the buffer.

But they forgot the 4th method, The dealers "complimentary" wash. They did just as much damage to my car as that brush.

i like when the guy asks if he can touch the car and the detailer says i would rather you didnt....thats soo funny, because i hate when my car is fresh, and people cant help themselves and touch my car....my neighbor last time i did my car noticed after 2 days that my car looked perfectly clean but there was a layer of dust on it....he preceeded to take his finger and started wiping back and fourth like a kid....i was like dude wtf over....hes like its not going to hurt anything....people just dont understand how easy it is to marr up a finish....

Usually cuz the $8/hour uses the same type of dirty brush/water.
