[camzaro28]

the only car wash i have seen around is dons car wash. i dont want the drive through wash though. is there any good place around that i can pull up and wash car myself?
thanks in advance

IMO no, whale of a wash lets you clean it yourself, but the tools/products they use I wouldn't use on my car.

yeah the only one I know of is whale of a wash but I don't think it's that great..

[camzaro28]

well where the hell do u clean ur cars at? i live in an apartment complex and the only known water spicket is for the maintenance guys and i am not allowed to use it. i dont think.
i might have to try this whale wash though, where is it at? gonna head up there in a bit. my car is not looking good. damn i used to wash my car like once a month, and it was never nowhere near this bad. cars get dirty real quik up here.

it doesnt help how dry and windy its been...and we do put salt or sand down on the roads in the winter and a lot of that is still left over...

Dood, there is a wale of a wash a couple blocks from where you live, behind taco Johns on 13th.

actually the one that said it was in downtown wasnt mapquest. mapquest shows it where u say tjamz.
nvmd i dont know how to use a map. the star was telling me where the center of fargo was. im a dumbass, then it has a flag where the wash is.

There are a few whale of wash's. There's one by NDSU, one on 13th Ave, one in South Moorhead...

Maybe more too....

Bring your own soap and bucket, and such just use thier pressure washer

anybody hear good things bout that stuff that sprayer that just dries leaving no streeks.i think its a mr clean brand

[PSiedTSi]

it works alright, i have one...i guess i would say its good if you wanna spend the money...the most expensive part is the starter kit and i picked mine up on sale

mr clean sprayer coats your car with teflon or something, so if you plan on buffing or waxing it its not a good idea

I think you mean polymer. And you CAN wax over polymer, you just can't put polymer over wax.

the mr. clean sprayer does use teflon...teflon is a non stick surface.

No where on the Mr clean website does it say anything about teflon. Could you show me this? Because I am 100% sure it is polymer. I have also had a huge debate over this product at autopia, and have never even heard a mention of teflon. I would like you to prove me wrong.

Nothing?

A Note to the Naysayers:
Mr. Clean AutoDry Carwash does not strip wax. Mr. Clean AutoDry doesn't leave behind a film, just a thin, temporary layer of the Dry Rinse Polymer molecules, which are replenished each time the car gets washed. These do not strip the wax, or harm the paint or clearcoat in any way.
