I'm paying $16.00 for some sealant and polish wax and when I see my car go through the damn wash, the crap is just sprayed on my car and then rinsed off immediately. Is this really doing anything???? I say hell no. I want to see shine so bright that the reflection from the sun will blind me. I have some car wash kit with polish I bought, but doing it myself is like hard labor. They try to trick you as if it's the same as turtle waxing your car by hand and to think it was $16.99 and I got a $1.00 discount for coming back within one week and a stamp on my "frequent wash" card towards my FREE wash, but of course it's only a free basic wash. I'll have to pay for my tire dressing, sealant, polish, and air freshener a la carte

You got ripped off Do it yourself, a lot cheaper and better (Max does it all the time )

Find a local kid and give them between $10 and $15 to hand wash and wax it for you.

I agree with Janfriend. you got your

regular wash for $12.00


then your special wash for $16.00


then your Super Special wash for $18.00


then your Super Deluxe
Special Special Special
Wash and Wax and Trim
around Tires and Dry
with cherry scent for $22.00



but they all go through the same stupid cycle.


not to mention thatidf you want a full detail and wax and carpets cleaned then we're in the 3 digit for dollars range.

go get a sponge and sum water..wax on wax off!!

I'm just not getting the whole sealant and polish shit when it's just a colorful spill and immediate rinse. THIS IS WHAT I'M PAYING FOR????

haven't washed my car for 3 weeks. the spring snow and rain here has been a great alternative to car washes. it's FREE!!!

There's a 24-hour car wash that I go to.
After 8:00 they close the office so you have to stay in your car while it goes through the wash (the kids love it!)...anyway...the after-hours wash is only exterior, and it's discounted to $5.00 for the regular and $6.00 for the super wash.

Can't beat THAT!

That's why I buy disposable cars.

$16 is a bargain in L.A.! I pay $35 for a complete wash/wax.
