If that is another name for an automatic car wash...I'm going to order Lord Scratcher of Toonsville to visit you and deliver a prolonged sissy-boy slap attack. :lol:

I dont even own a hose.

I washed it three times with soap and buckets in the same day.
And it seemed to get dirtier and streakier every time.

so the car wash wins.
It gets clean.

job done.

Umm, Lord Scratcher used an automated wash thing today actually :oops:
I couldn't get the 7 months of dust off the 340 so I caved in and paid the £2 minimum. I wouldn't even have washed it but it was having a photoshoot and the snapper's a ponce. :lol:

I use a hose to get mud off the car normally. TOP TIP: connect it to the upstairs tap for extra water pressure. :D

A manual petrol station car wash is ok, but the automatic ones (with swirly brushes) are the spawn of satan. If you don't believe me, I have a couple of cars with totally bollocked paint to prove it.

cheers
