Not to worry, this is a no-touch place. The owner of the wash is driving my car. I'd gone there to shoot photos for his website (www.spot-not.com) He washed the car first with a soapy brush/water combo, rinsed, and ran it through the auto wash. The place has separate brushes for wheels and car body.

Tell me that guy is not using the same brush on your paint that he used on someone's old crappy-ass Cavalier? If you listen closely enough, you can hear the paint screaming from the scratches it's getting.... :eek:

He sprayed the brush first with the high pressure spray nozzle, to clean it off, mainly in case some idiot had used it on his wheels, instead of the wheel brush.

I don't know the cost, this was done for free.

Nope, that's the car wash owner. I'm taking the photos, remember.
