Thumbs up Car Wash Recommendations?

I'm sure everyone here washes their own S, but the house I'm renting doesn't even have an outside spigot, so I have to find a place to wash my car. Any recommendations near the heart of Nashville?

Um, I would find a place that isn't super crowded all the time and that you can get away with using a bucket. Had a place in VA that was really cool about it as long as there wasnt a line.

Another option at a car wash would be, rinse the car, add soap and grab your wash mit and wash the car then spray it down.

Another option would be grab some ONR and you dont need water

haha! ONR is great stuff. I have a smaller bottle I use when I take road trips.

I have been cautioned to not use a lot of pressure. Just let your wash mit run on top of the surface and let it grab everything.

Also, I learned the best way is to do a panel at a time then dry it right away. Fender then dry, hood then dry, bumper then dry etc

don't apply force when using ONR on a dirty surface...will cause scratches its best to rinse it with a pressure washer...dry then ONR/Dry
