Carwash vs DIY carwash

Postby sean » September 16th, 2014, 2:22 pm

So the question is, Primarily where do you wash your vehicle(s)?

You may also discuss your justification for your choice. Thank you in advance.

Sorry, I should probably rephrase.

The aim of this poll is to simply see if Trini's prefer to wash their own car or have someone else wash it for them. I hope this clarifies your question.

I think a better question is: Do you trust someone else to wash your vehicle?

I tried the car wash at vemcott south the other night. Was not very impressed with the end result. Spots were missed and the rims remained dirty. For a quick wash, yes! But I rather wash my car at home and get into all the nooks and crannys that an automated wash can't

The best cleaning a car can get is from the person who is paying for it an has to sit in the drivers seat. Cuz when u leave d car wash u may not see it but wen ur siting in traffic or u park in d sun. Then.......

five, only reason I bother is because the grime keeps building up and then you risk more scratches when you finally get around to washing...that plus the accumulation under the fenders, dust and grime in th eengine bay....still takes me half a day to clean a four door sedan tho :-/
