Hehe... well, I actually detailed my car wash regimen here:

The only thing of theirs I use is the water/hose. I'd say the paint is safe ;-)

I was able to knock the guy down and then hit him with my car. (I was so mad, I didn't care at the moment about my car). The second guy split when he saw me take his buddy down. Both punks eventually escaped but not without injuries. Be careful. Our 8's look very exotic and stupid criminals may think we are really rich dudes.
Hehe yeah, that's a crazy story... I should probably be safe though... this car wash is right on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood with several open-late restaurants right nearby. I'm also rarely the only one out there. Given the neighborhood, I'm more in danger of dudes trying to hit on me
