If you're real baller and crazy.... buy the car wash pass from Petro Canada. It's approx $150 for 3 months of car washing. You can use once daily.

Only selected Petro Canada stations have the new touchless AND RAIL-LESS car washes. Those are the ones you want. I know they are located at Hwy 7 and Kennedy in the east end, and Hwy 27 south of Rutherford Rd. in the west end.

I used it last year, and washed the car almost daily after work. It was great!

sorry for the hassle lmao. but from your other thread, people were saying touchless washes get water into places they shouldnt go and that it removes wax. And you said self washes r better. But now youre saying a pass is good? im confused lmao

I think he is saying, if you were the girl in your avatar, he wouldn't confuse you as much as he has j/k.

I drove through that sprayed crap on the 401 a few times last year on the 401. I remember coming back from Oshawa area towards Mississauga, and was after midnight I believe. My car was white from that ****. The effects might be worse than salt. My car never looked that bad from driving one stretch of highway for about 50 km over just salt, but over that crap, disgusting!!!

I've been using that Petro Canada Glide system for over two years now, maybe longer. It can't be beat for $1.50/wash +vac+spot lifter. The only neg with it is that I feel it washes off any Krown that is applied to the underside.
BTW, If you have rusting wheelwells, take it to Mazda and they will fix it free of charge...at least, they did to mine.
