At The Car Wash
“Ultimate Wash” option became my frequent destination and selection at the pump. But now as a long-time veteran of automatic car washes (like 4 months, but I am a quick study) I have come to witness certain types of behavior and from it I have formed a loose creed in and around the car wash experience. Never expect the car wash to be operational below 10 degrees (-12.2 celcius) even if your car looks like it could blend in to the bonneville salt flats…tough luck, it was 12 degrees yesterday and you put it off…. Do not get in line without a backup form of payment (sometimes cash is not king) and then proceed to gesture from your driver’s window like we understand arm language . . . hand signs are fairly universal right down to the digits sometimes . . . but a waving arm I can’t decipher and of course you are snug against the cement payment island and you are unable to open your car door . . . ah your backup lights just came on . . . that is now causing a reverse chain reaction throughout the 7 vehicle caravan I am situated in. I get it, but next time . . . Go for the “Ultimate Wash” cycle and
rest easy that your under carriage is getting pummeled with enough high pressure water/steam to slow and maybe reverse the affects of Winter at least until you pull out on to the road and start the
process all over again…. 4. Repeat. Keeping your beloved ride looking like you love it as you roll down the road this winter is as easy as 1,2,3,4.
