I use all meguiar's products. I'm going to look into investing some money in poorboys products pretty soon

Seriously though i heard from a friend someone's car went through one of those and came out majorly effed up because an antenna broke lose inside the wash and got stuck in the parts that contact the car lol So the next car that went in had the broken antenna being scraped all over the body. Came out with some pretty nice scratches

Those touchless car washes are just as worse the brush that is all worn down and doesnt really get a good clean.... but I am ordering about 500 bucks for detailing kits

so I can start doing it myself..

I would never drive through a carwash with the rubber cleaners but I also wouldn't waste my money on touch less, all it does is remove the dust but never things that are stuck on. Like bugs, dirt etc....
