I w0ork at a car dealer and have free use of the car wash and im wondering if its a bad idea to run my evo through it? ANd if it may damage it at all?

 

What kind of car wash is it? Personally, if I have to use a car wash I only use the kind that hand wash. What color is your car?

 

Depends. The car washes with the brushes that run all over you car will leave swirl marks on your car... You will definitely see it more on a black car.

 

its got two vertical brushes in front that spin aand two in back. And then a buch of things that hang down from above and gently go back and forth

 

sorta like this? ill try and find a better pic

 

ea--Thats why I asked what color his car was. You won't really notice the swirls on a silver or white car like mine. But on a black car--forget it. It'll be swirlcity. You might be able to combat it by hand waxing it after every wash.

 

i was just told that mitsubishi wont wash um cause they dent the fenders

 

yeah my car is black. but it doesnt seem like it touches the car that hard

 

Most new car washes like Mr carwash use the sponge like things that drop back and forth on car with rainbows of colors spraying on your car with soap... The ones who use the swirl type carwashes are gas stations...

 

ok this might help. THere is a big vertical brush at each corner then above is about 20 hanging things that look like almost speghetti and those go back and forth.

 

keyword is "seem" lol

handwash your car u lazy ****...that goes for all you other lazy bums that own evo's and go through car washes!!!

 

I know exactly what your talking about.......i think you should stay away from it and hand wash your evo. Hand washing is the best way to treat any 30k+ car especially a black one.

 

Touch Free car wash is fine

 

i would love to but its hard to do it when its snowing and theres salt all over the road and its 10 degrees out side

 

I've always used the "laserwashes" in a pinch, and they've never hurt my black cars, althought not as thorough as a hand wash. But I'm not going outside in 10 degree weather to handwash ANY car. I wouldn't hand wash Jenny McCarthy in this freakin weather...oh wait, yeah i would.
