Black paint + brush and "strap slapper" car washes + car wash guys with drying towels and no paint swirls? You are one lucky guy indeed.

I find that difficult to believe. A black car gets swirl marks even if you look at it the wrong way (let alone take it to an automated wash where it gets whipped by hundreds of straps S&M style).

I do Agree with someone below, the wash is never better than a handwash, but it does get the job done. My spoke wheels came out bright and shinny

My check engine light goes on if I get within 200 feet of a car wash.

Just curious, where are you getting ur car washed and how much.
Does anyone know a good detailer , and car washer in Central NJ, home where the heart is.

In my driveway. Other than the investment for soap, sheepskin mitt, 2 buckets, waffle microfiber drying towels, wheel brush, Optimum Spray Wax and some other detail goodies, the cost is free.
Sorry, can't help you there. I'm in MA.

In winter, I use Optimum No Rinse and Shine car wash formula in my garage where it's usually above freezing with only 2 gallons of water using the two bucket method - no hose needed and no damage to the finish. Pretty remarkable stuff - Google it for reviews.

What is "the two bucket method"? I think I'll try a local car wash for my '09 A4 Cabriolet Quattro. The last time I hand-washed the top it came out fine until I sprayed the convertible top protect ant on it. Followed the instructions to a T but it came out gray and blotchy. Won't be doing that again.
