is it ok to take it to the chevron drive through wash. thats what i normally did with my other cars that werent tl. how do you wash it

 

i wouldn't drive thru any car wash. do yourself a favor n just pick a free day and spend an hour or so on it. drive-thru's are the devil! :devilgrin

 

I started by buying a TL...

 

 

Umm yeah...Chevron doesn't care about your car. You do! Don't take it there.

Automatic car washes are the devil but gas station car washes are even worse!!!!! Your TL deserves better! You can help it by reading the links others have provided.

 

handwash or be prepared for swirls galore!

 

Hand wash can still be swirl galore if you don't know how to properly wash by hand.

 

In my detailing adventures I've found that automatic car wash swirls are definitely deeper and harder to remove than those put in by careless driveway washing. I can always tell which is which by how easily the swirls give up.

 

true dat ... i stand corrected ... hand wash properly with two buckets or swirls galore

 

laser/touchless car wash count?

 

Touchless is better then normal car washes, but i still wouldnt do it unless my car was filthy and i had absolutely no way to wash it soon.

 

You didnt exactly "settle" when you bought your TL did you? Why would you settle for anything less then a hand wash with a nice sudsy sheepskin washmit, lathered up with Optimum Car Wash? Add a Dirtguard for extra measures.
No nonsense products, proven products, all you need is a buckett or two and water!

 

did you even buy the car yet?

 

Do a touchless wash. That's what I do in the winter.

 

thanks

 

Very well put sir!
I just had someone offer me 80 dollars each to do 2 cars, and i "kindly" declined lol.

 

no fast car wash it will leave streak marks especially on black tl's

 

always been washing my cars myself. couldnt afford to pay a car wash to do a half assed job. loll.

 

And that last part of your reply pretty well sums up the dif between DIY and automatic washes.

 

Yeah I used to do auto washes with my truck but not anymore may not be an Acura but it's an si so I take care of it=]

 

Doesnt matter if its a Pinto............
Well ok, thats a little extreme.

 

as long as that touchless wash doesnt involve towel drying at the end...

 

Yeah i know I just got lazy
