FAQ

What will a wash not get off?

Tar, tree sap, baked-on bug residue, overspray and bonded brake dust. Those need chemical or clay work at a detail shop. Water spots that have etched into the clear coat are the same story: no wash removes them, because the damage is in the surface rather than on it.

Is recycled water worse for my car?

No. Sites that reclaim water filter it and use fresh water for the final rinse, which is the rinse that decides whether you get spots. Reclaim is about the water bill and local rules, not about cleaning power. Ask about the final rinse if your car dries with spots.

Any tips for a self-serve bay?

Rinse the whole car before you touch it with foam, work top down, and keep the wand back from badges, trim edges and door seals. Skip the foaming brush hanging on the wall unless you rinse it first, because it holds whatever the last person washed off.
