Re: [ASC McLaren ] window leaks


I agree 110% ~~ Car Washes are the worst you can do to a car's paint!
They are designed to get the dirtiest car that could ever come thru,
CLEAN. The chemicals are almost caustic! The blowers force leaks in
sun roofs and convertible tops! The stuff they spray on wheels can
take off wallpaper!
Hand Wash Only!!
Don't go to school/church or other fund raiser car washes. I once
saw them preparing the wash buckets!! They were pouring in WISK
laundry detergent. WTF do they know? It makes bubbles, don't it ??
Same dirty rags/towels all day long on every car! Wash you car
yourself, at home & then drive over & give them $5.00 donation!!!
