Hey there, I have a question for you guys. Do you think the touchless car wash that chevron has would be ok to run the evolution through....ive had lots of thought but i wanna get everyones personal or professional opinion on it first.

i've ran mine through a touchless carwash without any problems, you just have to clean the wheels yourself to get all the brake dust off.

 

I had an emergency cleaning done at one, it was ok... Don't do it often, it'll wear down your clearcoat wax....

 

Which mode did you get? i noticed the upper two have chassi cleaning...this a good/bad thing to get since we have that oil on it to keep it (from rusting???)? and what about the wax that it does.....good/bad job of it...?

Nothing gets your wheels cleaner than doing them by hand. Spraying Mothers (in the yellow bottle) on them before the wash helps a lot.

 

I hate the high pressure spray into my hood vents... likely doesn't hurt anything, but I'd rather avoid it on a hot motor... at the least it makes for water spots places rain never reaches.

 

holy crap, its a 30k compact car not a 200k ferrarri or something.

 

Personally, I'd prefer not to take the chance and wash the car by hand.

 

we all know that but it is something important to alot of people. some people love old records and would do anything for them as do some people like cars and would do the same

 

Is it a bad thing to care about the car you own and like/ enjoy ?
(specially a band new car.)

anyhow i've been through the touchless carwash at least twice with the evo.
I am worried about the engine being hot with all that water goin through it, but it shouldn't be a problem.

Personally i don't like touchless carwashes 'cause there are always water marks afterwards and it doesn't clean very well under the wing leaving you to do it by hand anyways.

 

I don't let any machine touch the body of my evo. It's done by hand usually twice a week. I love this car and treat it like a ferrarri

 

I use a potscrubber brush on my wheels.. it works great. I figure the finish on my wheels is at least as durable as a nonstick surface on a pan.

 

yeah, I understand. I especially understand with old (classic cars)... but for some reason, I just don't fell that way about newer cars. But I do see what you mean...I am that way with some things in my life... so I still hold to my obnoxious opinion for ME, but I can totally understand for others out there that it is important. We all have different priorities. Plus, I think I am just super lazy!! That's really what its about... I am just too damn lazy to wash my car.... I know, that is pretty pathetic. I think I will wash it this weekend out of feeling guilty.

 

heh s'alright.
I've been lazy about everything else in my life
until i got this evo.
Now i'm tryin to take care of it so you evo guys won't come over and torch my house or somethin...

 

i wash and wax by hand once a week (dust during the week)

only use Meguiars products... always been #1 in my book
