Quick note on the brushless washes.... use to own an 86 Ferd Ranger (hey I use
to own a 'K' car <Aries> too, so we all make mistakes once in a while...
anyway. Ran the Ranger thru the brushless wash and it took off parts of my
pin-striping!! Lotta force behind that water you might want to keep in mind!

If you must use an automatic car wash I would suggest the brushless ones.
Detergents may be harsh but at least they don't try to rub the paint off with
brushes that would cut the blood out of your skin if one hit you. There is
also a
type called a soft cloth wash. my problem with them is what if the soft cloth
has
something abrasive caught in it off someone elses dirty car?
