Default Automatic Car Washes

Yes, no or sometimes?

For my truck. Never.


Has anyone ever had a bad experience with one?

Only if they're touchless and I only really use them in the winter.

I just went to Autobell yesterday and was underwhelmed. The auto wash, of course, wasn't thorough at all and the hand dry / polish sucked. Towel marks and lint everywhere, tons of missed spots... overall waste of time and money.

We have a GooGoo here. They do a pretty good job. Only issue is front bugs and brake dust. They'll let you go through again for free if you're unsatisfied.
