No-one can be a member here for long without becoming thoroughly indoctrinated into the horrors of automatic car washes (and the desirability of the 'two-bucket' method et al). However my old bones are increasingly resistant to braving the elements with buckets etc and I must admit to being tempted on occasion.
I have been inspecting auto washes and they appear not to be all the same. One local (Total) garage has one which on close inspection has quite thick and soft 'strands'. Whereas the local Sainsburys version has very thin and hard strands which on the face of it seem not a good idea.
I have also read comparison tests which found that the worst for bodywork are the Jetwash varieties with the bristly brushes expelling foam.
Do I need to put these heretical thoughts behind me?
