I don't care much for some of those automatic washes, there is a touch-less one in Dryden that does a fairly good job..

We have a car wash here in town now but I've never been to it but I doubt there is an under body wash at it. likely just a pressure washer..

I like the convenience of a car wash but it doesn't really do a good job if filthy.. Took the truck through a few weeks ago have had dirty places still on it..

Good morning Alabama.

I regularly take all my vehicles through car washes, but only touchless, no brushes.
I get a really good discount on washes, so its more than worth it to me.
