stingman123 0 Posted February 17, 2006 Evening All, I have to admint I'm reeally lazy when it comes to washing my Corrado,plus most of the time its too cold!! Do most of you put your Corrado's in the local car wash? If anyone from the north east reads this, do you know any decent valet companies up here? ta Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greenbeltvr6 0 Posted February 17, 2006 I never use a car wash. Will occasionally use a jet wash if i'm short on time (or if it's too cold) but you can't beat doing it at home with a sponge, hose and wax for a good finish! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcstudent 0 Posted February 18, 2006 I wash my car twice a year....but at least I do it by hand! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted February 18, 2006 Car wash? Only stuck the Rado in twice, each time was after driving through heavy snow and gritted roads whilst in Germany during Xmas, because I wanted an undercarwash. The car wash was crap, so at home I rewashed the C by hand. Other than that the C gets washed by me by hand only. The Roccos have never seen anything than me washing them yet, and that's to stay like that :-) Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chaz g60 0 Posted February 18, 2006 I'm sure all the swirly marks on my paint is from previous owners using carwashes, dont do it find a jet wash they work better too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaz the geezer 0 Posted February 18, 2006 not for me, it only takes 20 mins or so to wash by hand :tongue: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trig 0 Posted February 18, 2006 I always do it at home, you get a far more thorough job you can wax it straight after (it'll get dirty on the way home!) and it's almost free! Don't car washes put litle scratches on the paintwork anyway? The jet wash things are good but they are still quite expensive and you don't get enough time!

Phil K 0 Posted February 18, 2006 I've always stuck my company cars through car washes but would never do this to the C :? Like Gix said I'd be too worried about things falling off :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
