A 30 mil Rolls makes more sense than paying 80k for a mass produced vehicle that was 40k 5 years ago

I used it one night at my parents (needed an outlet to us it) and it worked so well I couldn't even take my car home after lol... had to let it air out overnight.
I feel like the smell in my vents on startup is almost completely gone. If I had a machine I would probably hit it again and do it with the car running and the vents on recirc to get more of the ozone into the ventilation system itself because I think I can still pick up the smallest trace right when the car first starts... but that's just learning how to use something.
Just wanted to report back and publicly thank supafamous for being such a great guy!!

So I joined this monthly car wash club at the new car wash by the Lougheed/Boundary McDonald's. Unlimited car wash (once a day) for a reasonable cost. It's just like every drive through car wash. For a daily beater, it's great. Just today, I saw this dude standing in front of a machine of some sort. Damn, it was a mat cleaner. You slide your mat into this slot and the machine cleans it. Not sure how good it cleans it, but it's the first time I've seen one up close. https://www.expressautowash.ca/#car-wash-options

After that, $32.00? Not sure. I go every few days. Ten times will make it $3.00 a wash. Will definitely need it in winter. This is no Ferrari or Maserati I drive, so no care. BTW, this is for basic wash. Prices will be higher for the better options. It does a decent job, plus you get to go through another time if wash is not to your liking.
Again, for a daily driver/winter beater, it’s worth it.

How do they keep track of you? License plate? Your ID? They give you a membership card?

Yeah, I see her there all the time. That's a she?
Speaking of which............... there was this one s/he person at the car wash unloading boxes at the storage side. Damn, s/he was tall with a KD Lang haircut. Wore a muscle shirt, but had no muscle to speak of. Caucasian with smooth white skin and a great smile. I don't care if it's a he or a she.......... kind of hot. Take a walk on the wild side. Damn............
And, yes, I talked to her. She was driving an Outlander so I asked her about it. She talked like a woman. No titties to speak of. Not even a nipple sticking out. Wore loose pants, so no idea. Also walked like a woman. I'm so confused....... was a very nice person. Did I mention a great smile? Great personality, too. One of those really happy to be alive people. Effervescent qualities.

I think I'll join that car wash this winter, they're not far from my place.
I still have some free bags and car freshener they were giving out when you'd get a wash when they first opened.
It's a decent wash but I laugh at how many people have already rubbed against all those damn poles they have setup in there

We have a 2023 minivan brand new in silver.
Would you guys take it to this unlimited car wash? I would probably go 2x a week since i'm only 10mins away. I hate having a dirty car, but I drive highway to work and the car always gets dirty
Brushed car washes aren't that bad, are they?

Read the info in the link I posted. It explains what is used and how.
I see all kinds of expensive cars there.

Brushed car washes aren't that bad, are they? | I went down a rabbit hole of "how to wash" when I bought mine
Daily driver that you aren't trying to get top dollar for on resale / isn't a garage queen = no problem for contact and non contact drive thru
Sportscar / or you really care about your vehicle that you are trying to keep in good exterior shape + nice rims + wide rims = no drive through carwash
Most of my cars including my ragtops, I put through the contact and non contact washes - no problems
C7 gets self serve coin bay, spray only, 2 new disposable rags, brush on rims only (I'm in a condo, no hose access)
