best $4 I ever spent
Took my car to the self serve car wash at lunch--$2 to soap up with spray, and then wipe, another $2 to do the final rinse. Salt be gone and she looks like a mirror again!

Hopefully he just foamed up his car instead of the foam brush.

lol no.....I use the high pressure soap, but tuck a microfiber cloth under the wiper so it gets soaped too.
After the first 3 min., I then wipe the car with the microfiber.... Then I do another 3 min. of high pressure rinse, and dry off with a chamois.... My concern is that I do leave the salt on for a week or more at a time....just can't get to the hand spray wash place any quicker. I could take it through an automatic wash sooner though but don't want to.... |

A professional wouldn't recommend a car cover...or I'm pretty sure. Could be wrong but general idea is it will eventually scratch the finish as your car can't be 100% spotless all the time. Dirt and debris can touch the paint
