I still can't decide whether the title "Bizarre Car Wash Experience" is an 80s alternative band or an 80s VHS porn video. Possibly both.

Probably both, with the video having been originally released on BetaMax.

They have places that will hand wash your car for you.

And when it rains it's a "free" car wash.

You joke but my coated car seems to clean itself after a hard rain storm (yes it still has a layer of grime but just that very fine stuff that sticks to the car).

Drives $60k car but won't pay $40 for a handwash. Enjoy your swirl marks I guess.

A$$hole remark from a New Yorker, imagin' that

It's a BMW, not a Ferrari or Lamborghini...then you might have a point.

Autobell + Air Dry + Leaf Blower and my own clean towels = Little to No Swirls!!! Nothing a good detail once in a while can't make disappear. Done this for years even on a black Porsche...And yes, I have florescent lights in my garage so I can see.

On a lighter note, ever lived through pollen season in the south during a drought?
$40 every 2 or 3 days for 2 months isn't happening

Sincerely, "Cheap, Old & Lazy"

I wouldn't even trust a hand wash from a car wash.... I picture them taking the same old and tired wash mitt all over your car with the same grime from the previous car, washing from the bottom up... swirl heaven.
