so.. i was at the car wash with HTTP410 this morning when another crossfire pulled up. Yep, two (16 & 17 year old) kids with a black & silver XFire with new spinner wheels & a digital video navigation system.... makes me sick................

 

You're sure there just not the standard issue spoiled brats with soulless, valueless, nonjudgmental parent units? Crossfire as proxy for actual parenting?

 

You put your Crossfire though a car wash??????

That is a crime in itself!!!!!!!!

 

i put my roadster through a car wash all the time, but it is a touchless car wash, spot free rinse and blower. does a great job... i also got some of those armour all car wash wipes doc is talking about and use them in between regular washes... great product..

just my opinion

 

What is a touchless car wash? I have not seen any of those before. :roll:

 

are you making fun of me vegas? or just being a smart __ ___ ___?

 

Neither - I am serious. I do not know what you mean and I'm just asking. All the car washes I have seen have brushes or rugs that rub up against the car. Certainly they "touch".

 

I hope I'm reading your reply wrong because Vegas is far from being a smartxxx!!! She is simply asking a question plain and simple. Girls do that you know....

 

its a water spray only... no brushes... thus touchless

 

I'm just asking here because I have never seen one of those here, so don't get upset - please educate me.
Isn't it just like when you hose down the car with a high pressure thing at the do-it-yourself places... you still have to use the brush to get the dirt off?

 

vegas, i am not upset... just didnt know if you were joking around or not..see, im smiling :lol: what it is, is, you pull your car in the wash bay,it has an automatic machine that goes through the various steps, depending on what level wash you get, and runs around your car. even has a bottom blaster when you first pull in to clean underneath the car. it is high pressure. really does a good job.

 

:cry: Wish we had one of those here. We are not even allowed to wash our own cars in our driveway. We have to go to a car wash. And the ones where you use the "wands" just don't do the job. Maybe I'll have to start inquiring here to see if anyone knows if there is one here like that. Thanks :wink:

 

you are very welcome.. :wink:

 

You put your Crossfire though a car wash??????

it was a manual power wash, not an automatic scratch the **** out of it thingy

 

Just be careful with very high pressure water sprays - I have heard that a car can lose its paint if the pressure is very intense.

 

Here in Arizona we too have a FEW touchless car washes but not as many as I'd like to see made available.

I use them all the time for all 4 of our cars since I don't want to scratch the paint on any of them. They do work if the vehicles isn't too dirty but they certainly aren't designed to clean a really dirty car. They don't do too good a job of removing hard bug splatters that have baked on the finish for a few days.

I often use the touchless carwash then go over the car with the Armor All Car Wash wipes I posted about a few days ago. Then the car is clean and looks good with no scratches or streaks. I also use some of the new Streak FREE (Armor All) Glass Wipes for the windows. They too are great.

"Doc" in the HOT desert! (111 last night)

 

the down side...the carwash detergents are "so strong" to clean the dirt off (touchless) that it also strips the wax off your car too.

 

Whats wrong with a DVD screen in your car?!?!?!? :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

It's far from ghetto... It is a NAV computer that you can NEVER get lost with... plus it makes long driving trips EVEN better (I know its hard to get better then just you and xfire) but it really does make it nice to watch a movie or something in the back ground keeps ya awake!

 

Talking about car washes, went to the dealership here today ( to visit my XFIREX kin ) and they still have the same inventory ( 1 SSB, 1 Black, 1 Blaze Red with Detata wheels ). And when you buy 'em now...it comes with a signature " WASH ME "

 

Watching a movie 'in the background' while you're driving? Keeps you awake? How 'bout it takes your attention away from driving! In many states it is illegal for TV screens showing VCR/DVD/Broadcast signals to be in view of the driver for that very reason.

Back to the drug lord car...I think DC itself started down that road with the illuminated sill plates.
