brushless carwash
I just spent last 4 hours detailing my car (wash, clay, and wax).
In the winter I let the paint get out of hand with all the rain we had.
Now that it's back to mint condition I would like to continue keeping it clean.
Where are some brushless carwash places on the peninsula? And by brushless I mean it's an automatic cloth-type of brush.

I don't know man. I am OK with giving the car a full detail every 4 months. But it's tough to find the time to give it a wash once a week.
It also doesn't help that I don't live near a garden hose or a garage space.

Well if you want to keep your cars paint in its most prime and tip top condition, then you probably should go the direction opposite direction of a car wash place....... lol
Yea no one really has that time, I know I dont any more. Best you can do is garage it and keep it from the outside. If you dont have a garage, you can get a car cover, that will help.
As for a full exterior detail, thats not a full exterior detail. You forgot the polish stages, sealant, and etc. If you dont have time to do detailing yourself..... pm me, I can help you out. =)

Yea, the one carwash at *** hill in alameda does (remember where we went to get cheesesteak that one time?) I been through it with my friends car, I wouldn't recommend it..... lol. Only gets most of the body clean, not the wheels or anything. If you are looking for a really quick wash for like 8 bucks, then sure. Other than that...come to my pad lol.

I like the spray type car washes for a good in between wash. I like how it blows your car off at the end and you never have to rub or dry your paint. IMO anytime you touch your paint with a wash mit or a towell to dry you are possible scratching your paint. I like to try and keep my hands off the paint as much as possible.
I like how some folks will advertise when they sell their car "washed and waxed every week" well thats not a good thing if you keep rubbing your paint and causing swirls. But maybe Im just OCD, lol.

What's wrong with just letting the subie be a little dirty for a while until you have the time to wash it yourself? You'll enjoy it and then it's like unveiling a new car each time you clean it and everyone loves that feeling, am I right?

Well that's why you use the wash mits and towels that are least likely to scratch the surface. Honestly, you can't clean your car with just a spray of water and soap. Try that next time, then take a wash mitt and simply swipe it across your paint's surface and you'll still get grime off.

And the california car duster is the THE WORST. That thing is like cleaning your car with sand paper.
