A car wash like that is for people who see their car as a washing machine, fridge or microwave................................an appliance, a device, a tool. All they see is the car has no dirt on it, that's all that matters.

I mostly agree but I’ve had far too many people point on how tunnel washes don’t get their wheels clean, there’s always dirty on the back and bottom and it’s never fully dry. Despite that and me pointing on the paint damage they go back. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it think.

Also my vehicles never go to any kind of car wash so I'm not up on cost but $33.00 seems like an expensive automatic wash???

Seems about right for 2025. My local area charges $28 but there are a ton of add ons.

For an automatic wash? I'm not disputing you reporting what's being charged, just saying that's crazy high.

For those YT detailers that use pump sprayers for tires and wheels, I think one can do a first pass clean with just a traditional spray wheel and tire cleaner before you get the pump up sprayer pressurized. It seems over complicate the process.

I agree but if prices keep going up maybe it will drive customers my way. If they’re gonna pay, might as well pay someone to do it right.

Never been a fan of those pump sprayers. I can foam a wheel in 5 seconds with a real foam cannon, a job that would take 3 minutes with one of those pump things.
