  • Quarter wash?

    I usually wash my car at a couple different quarter washes I happen to like, Ive never had any complaints but I know a couple people dont like to use 'em.

    I would prefer to hand wash it, but I dont always have time or the stuff I need. Plus living in a apartment makes it a bit of a pain. I was just curious if anybody here had any major reasons they dont use them.

      I take it thats because dirt and stones can get caught in them? I usually blast the brush with the hose first. I can never get the car completly clean unless I use the brush.

        I use the quarter car wash all the time, probably because my dad owns one.

                I don't because high pressure water and t-tops don't mix well.

                    I use it for my daily driver sonoma all the time. Never the Trans Am though. Even when i go with the sonoma all i use is the high pressure wash, no soap, no brushing, nothing but high pressure.... seems to clean it pretty good for my winter beater

                      I don't have a house to wash my car since I'm live in an apt also, so I take mine to the quarter car wash too. Seems to work okay, the brush is kinda iffy cause no matter how much you blast the brush, the possibility of scratching your car is pretty good. I only use the brush to clean the bottom of my car, wheelwells, wheels and tires usually.

                          hmm...i have never taken a vehicle i own through a drive thru wash ever...and i've used a few 1/4 car washes...mostly just to clean my dirtbike when it's muddy....i have the convenience of everything i need at work. power washer, huge bucket of nice soapy water and clean wash mits (we make new wash water about every other day at work and wash the wash mits about the same. get new ones every week or so...) i have an air drier at work as well. makes things handy!

                            I will not take my car through a car wash. But I take mine to the Quarter wash all the time in the winter.

                              not only have I taken my camaro through the quarter car wash, but I've done the automatic washes too many times. doesn't bother me none.
