Absolutely! And if there are tough spots, like bird droppings, let the soap sit for a bit before rinsing. It works wonders!
Using the right amount of soap is key. Too much can lead to residue. Follow the instructions on the machine for dosing!
Good point! Also, make sure you rinse thoroughly. Leaving soap can damage your paint over time!
And hey, consider using wax at the end for a shiny finish! Just remember to follow the wax application instructions carefully.

If you have a microfiber towel, bring it along to wipe down the surface after rinsing. It helps eliminate streaks.
Great advice! However, don’t forget to check the wash station for any available drying tools—they can be a lifesaver!

What about tire cleaning? I often see people neglect that part! It really makes the whole car look better.
[quote=“xgreen, post:10, topic:2207”]What about tire cleaning?[quote]I totally agree! Adding wheel cleaner helps, just make sure to spray it on and let it sit for a moment for the best results.
Once you’re done, a finishing spray can really enhance the shine. But remember, don’t use it while the sun is shining directly on your car!

Are there any specific brands of soap you all recommend? I’ve heard mixed reviews about some products!
I’ve had good luck with Chemical Guys products! They offer great quality without damaging the paint.
Using a self-service car wash can save you a lot of money. You’re charged for water and soap, not labor, making it more budget-friendly. Just a few bucks can keep your car looking great without breaking the bank!
Absolutely! Plus, many self-service washes use eco-friendly products that are less harmful to the environment compared to some full-service washes that might use chemicals.

I agree with you both. It’s fascinating how much we can save while being environmentally conscious. Self-service washes often recycle water too!
Exactly! Plus, there’s something satisfying about doing it yourself while controlling the process.
But aren’t self-service washes a bit more time-consuming? I sometimes wonder if it’s really worth the effort compared to just driving through a full-service wash.
