Default 2 dollar car wash!

Yesterday afternoon i used Turtle Wax's Ice synthetic polish which claimed to be awsome for black cars and said that there would be no hazing... well they were right, the wax didnt haze it just turned my paint to a gross brown and i couldnt get it off, i used a sponge and scrubbed and washed my baby but nothing. Then today MrGr3y called me and we met up for Starbucks coffee then we cruised down to belmar and stopped at a little self service car wash.. total cost $2.25 for ten minutes. followed all the steps on the powerwashing directions: pre-rinse, high pressure wash, high pressure soap, high pressure rinse, hot wax and then PUREIFIED WATER?! thats right after all steps completed my black crossie looked amazing and no swirls, water spots, and the brown mess was gone! $2 car wash FTW! sorry for bad pic quality.. its mostly to show what the car wash was like..

I like ice in a cold drink, but never on my car.

We have tons of those in my city where I live, I just hope you didn't use the foaming brush! I see people drop those and use it on everything, man that would mess up your paint!

My, oh my. I live in east Alabama-Home of the "Mudder Trucks". And when they decide to wash them-yep at the Dollar Wash.
