Granted you're lucky cause you have a white car..........but surface scratches.....here you come............lol
....i steeered clear of the brush, i brought my own mits, pressure washer is way better than a garden hose though. Feels like a mini fire hydrant, kind hard to miss any spots with it.

ANd for the other guys question it costs about 400 bucks to chop the nose and then repaint it

That is one amazing looking VIII. I don't know why so many people hate on the WW, but you're rocking it hardcore. I really like what you've done.

Uh, I think you're freakin crazy if you've ever taken your Evo through an automated carwash that isn't touchless. Those brushes are guaranteed to give you surfaces scratches. Luckily white will cover it more than most other colors, but they are still there.

Hand wash FTW

Heck yeah self wash is the best. I use the foam brush, mitsu paint sucks anyways. As long as you keep it waxed it always shines nice without swirl marks.
