If it's a roll over car wash, don't do it! It will destroy the finish on your paintwork, especially if the car goes in to the wash filthy! |

It won't cause any damage to the paintwork, but they sometimes leave superficial swirly marks. Having said that, I have seen similar marks after hand washing and leathering down carried out by me.

MM, pop Lloyd over to Stockton, there is a car wash there, the chap does it at his home address, I can get you the address if you want, it's easy to find, usually a big pile of Snow Foam out side his place, he may even have the Pink Snow Foam especially for you. |
