Default Re: Do you take your Model A to the local self serve car wash?

Would you dry your miniature poodle in the microwave? Dumb joke, sorry.

I wash my car by hand using car soap and a clean terry cloth rag. Then I dry it off with the leaf blower. Our water is not hard but blowing it off helps with the water spots. I then use a cleaner wax.

If needed I will use a hand polishing cream, not machine polishing.

As a side note, the instruction book that came with our new Toyota said not to take the car to a car wash because the brushes would degrade the finish.
