Car Washes in HRM

Thought I'd post about this little gem I found on the Darkside for those that don't have a yard or other place to wash your ride like me. If you know of any other good spots post 'em up :cheers2:

I used to go to the old Rubber Ducky car wash and routinely drop $10 - $16 scrubbing the beast down until I found these guys. They do a great job with the right tools in their 'drive-thru' wash for $8! Plus they offer full detailing service for just about anything you need done.

Nature washes my car for me (and waters my lawn).

Agreed. I own an automotive detailing business myself and can tell you that those brushes are death to your paint. As an example, there is a recent customer that uses one of those brushes.

Neither am I, I take my own washing tools to a place like the Rubber Ducky. That shit destroys paint in a hurry, right full of dirt.

These dudes use big brushes that appear to be very soft, plush and clean. But then again I can't say for sure since my paint job is a mess of swirls straight from the dealer! Do NOT allow dealers to give you complimentary washes after servicing :lol: :lol:

VW always washes my car whenever I get anything done to my car.

From what I saw them do to Nash's car, I wouldn't let VW anywhere near mine. It wasn't a huge fix, but it was pretty obvious and shouldn't have been returned to the customer like that.
