I run a mini-detailing business out of my house on the weekends and wash it at home.
Quick wash using Meguiars NXT Car Wash applied with a pressure washer. Dried with an absorber/california duster. MF towels and i use the Booster wax every car wash to keep in accordance with the Tech Wax that is on the car

I just got a GX 470 SUV....so new that I haven't had a chance to wash it, esp since it's been raining hard here in LA for the past couple of weeks. But apparently one needs a ladder to wash the GX, which I really dread the thought of doing. There are a bunch of conveyor "hand wash" carwashes near by. Is using one of them a bad idea?

not impressed
I guess I'm not TOO disappointed, I didn't have high hopes for the paint pen. I just finished using it on the lower cladding or my black RX300. The metallic was too dark and did not match. Its pretty obvious.

Gotta wash her at the autowash in winter up here to get all the salt crud off, I can't stand looking at it.
Even with the undercarriage wash it looked like some salt was still there.

I can't take mine to any place with the wheel rails because of the chromies, so I take the car to a local self wash with bays. In the summer though, I wash the car by hand, wax it myself, and do the interior myself, except for carpet cleaning.
