  • Cheap car wash

    This is the usual carwash price
    Exterior $5-7
    Interior $3-7
    Interior + Ext $10-20
    Wax/Polishing $50-200+

    But i just heard about $5 car wash that include waxing using cleaner wax which also could remove dead bugs that are stuck to the car is it really possible? Can a cleaner wax do that?

    Too bad i don't know where the shop is.

    Delta Sonic had a deal were for $7.00 you would get a car wash , vacuum, windows, ,door jams , dash . For $15.00 extra you would get a cleaner wax put on with a PC. While you wate. Turtle Wax car wash had a delux car wash and Turtle Platinum applied with a PC for $40.00 . Fuller car wash had a similar $40.00 deal. I knew a few guys that went to Fullers , and it wasent bad at all, of courst you had to have a decent car to begin with.

          Maybe you could give them some microfibers to use on your car whenever you go.

            Chris,

            Yes, it is really possibly for a cleaner wax to remove dead bugs that are stuck on the car. Of course, the question still remains whether or not there is very much profit for a $5 car wash to include waxing using a cleaner wax. To many people, maybe that would be the definition of a cheap car wash.

              It can only do so much though. I've seen it so bad on some cars it looks like the bugs are still there but they aren't. It's just the primer under their paint that stands out b/c the bugs ate through it.

              Automatic car washes are the devil. Unless you love the holographic look the swirls make on your paint when the sun hits it, don't use them. Even touch-less car washes aren't good for regular use because they use harsh chemicals. I wouldn't want to PAY somebody to cause damage to my car.

                  Mike,

                  Rather sweeping statement of the car wash industry, don't you think?

                  Would you also say that all detailing businesses are angels?
